SpaceX head man Elon Musk will appear on "60 Minutes" Sunday evening after coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, better known as "March Madness." Interviewed by Scott Pelley, Musk makes the case for SpaceX specifically and the emerging private space sector more broadly. He says he is confident SpaceX, which now employs 1,000 people in its tenth year of business, will be the first private company to put an astronaut into orbit.
Before founding SpaceX, Musk had already earned a place in business history by founding PayPal, which made executing financial transactions online safe and simple. If SpaceX delivers to the same degree, Musk will also be a major figure in opening the Solar System to human settlement.
