Elon Musk Admits ‘I’m Not Very Religious, But I Prayed for This One’ After Dragon Capsule Successfully Splashed Down in Gulf of Mexico

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is not a religiously observant person, but he admitted earlier this week that he prayed about his SpaceX project.

In remarks after the Dragon Capsule completed a splash landing in the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday, bringing home two U.S. astronauts, the chief engineer and CEO of SpaceX, said at one point during his speech: “You know, I’m not very religious, but I prayed for this one.”

Musk has long planned to make living on Mars a viable option.

“We’re going to go to the moon, we’re going to have a base on the moon, we’re going to send people to Mars and make life multi-planetary,” he said.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine believes space travel is going to become increasingly common in part because of private-sector innovation.

“We are entering a new era of human spaceflight, where NASA is no longer the purchaser, owner and operator of all the hardware. We are going to be a customer,” Bridenstine said.
