Elon Musk
Elon Musk is driven by a vision for humanity, which is constantly been ridiculed by business and science. Musk wants to die on Mars, and he probably will. Born on 28 June 1971 in Pretoria his obsession with Mars can be seen through the position of Mars in Aquarius, conjoining the North Node, which is quite appropriate for building a colony on Mars. It is an amazing fact that progressed Mars went retrograde when he was 13, and that it turns stationary direct when he is 73, and that progressed Mars will be trine progressed Uranus from the age of 69 to 85. He says he does not want to take his wife and kids to Mars because of the risks, but he will go himself, and astrologically, it seems likely.
Musk started SpaceX, which built almost every part of its rockets from scratch in its own facilities. Despite many crashes, he ultimately succeeded in building rockets that are superior to the Space Shuttle, and that carry out regular missions to the Space Station. He is currently having success with a rocket booster that, instead of being discarded after each launch, can land again vertically, be refueled and sent off again within a short space of time.
Musk is an outsider, who is extremely demanding, fanatical, and who uncompromisingly drives the people who work for him to extreme performances. He consciously chooses people who are unmarried and without kids, and who share his obsession, and the best minds in the USA are queuing up to work for him. When you look at him on YouTube, he clearly takes a delight in shocking his audience with outrageous but achievable ideas, which is probably connected with his Sun/Mercury conjunction square Uranus. Clearly his Jupiter/Neptune conjunction indicates his unlimited imagination, whilst the opposition to Saturn shows the work he is prepared to put in to realize his vision.
When Musk built the Tesla electric car, nobody expected him to succeed. He did this at the same time as working on SpaceX, and both projects nearly drove him bankrupt in 2008. At the last moment, NASA gave him billions of dollars to work on a replacement for the space shuttle, which miraculously saved him from bankruptcy. People did not trust the Tesla and were concerned that its resale value would be low, so he promised to make up the difference in price between the Tesla and other luxury sedans at resale. There we no dealerships for his cars and to promote sales, service was free.
Then he set about building super-charging stations along highways, with about 5000 already in existence, planned to double to 10,000 in 2017. These are solar powered, and you can charge your Tesla for free.
Elon Musk suggests however, that you charge your car for free at home. Together with his cousin, he has established SolarCity, with the idea of creating a seamless connection between solar power and electric cars. Long-term costs will be cheaper than conventional electricity. As an extension of this, a huge new factory called the Gigafactory has been built in Nevada, which manufactures batteries and electricity storage devices for electricity storage at home called Powerwalls. New solar roofs are being made, which cost no more than traditional roofs, which can provide all the energy for domestic and transport needs that a family could require.
This is just what one man with a vision can do. Technological revolutions like this have not been factored in to most projections about climate change. But the transition from the Earth era to the Air era, which takes place at the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction on December 21st, 2020 will bring the rapid demise of fossil fuels as an energy source. Oil-driven cars will disappear very fast. Fossil fuel power stations will take a little longer, but by 2050 there will probably be none. Emissions will approach near zero. Human influence on global warming will be non-existent. Cities ravaged by air pollution will be a thing of the past.
