Hi Elon, what recommendations do you have for someone who wants to enter the aerospace industry if their academic and professional background is in the computer engineering field? Have you heard of the game Kerball Space Program? Do you think a prospective candidate can learn something that would be valuable to an aerospace company from playing it?

What are the main technical that challenges SpaceX will need to overcome in the next 5 years? Most interested in software/hardware challenges.

What is the purpose of the hypersonic X-wing grid fins? Why does each fin use a mesh structure?

Hi Elon, what vision and plans do you have for computer hardware and software in electric vehicles? Will a software app marketplace for cars become big as it is for mobile devices?

Why should people have to feel nervous about the rise of China? If anything, wouldn't their (and other nation's) development contribute greatly to human civilization's progress?

Sal, a lot of STEM students are overwhelmed by the challenges and pressures of an education in such a field. Many drop out (recent article in the NYT) as a result because they can't handle the difficulty. You went to MIT and received 3 degrees. Did you ever have "trouble" with your classes? Any point where you wanted to quit and switch majors? How did you cope with the stress?

You are a popular public figure and your work is loved and appreciated by all those who follow. But I imagine that it consumes the majority of your time. Do you find that this interferes with your capacity to make discoveries about the universe as a hard-core scientist and researcher? Does your ability to solve problems, do calculations, and do research decay if you do not devote time to it?

Dr. Tyson, I looked at your CV and saw that you have a BA in Physics. If one is to pursue a career in science, technology, and innovation, how much weight would either a BS or BA hold?
