:::::Think I have seen a Elon Musk interview where on being asked this question he likened it to if you build an aircraft capable of crossing the Atlantic then are there going to be other people flying across the English Channel? That of course doesn't indicate that SpaceX have moon plans and may tend to indicate either they don't or they don't want to disclose any plans they have. Impression was he thinks it is inconceivable we would do Mars and not also have someone else doing something on the moon.

== 22 December 2015 post-landing news conference with Elon Musk ==

Here is a recording (link [http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=38148.msg1463773#msg1463773 here]) of the post-launch and post-landing teleconference with the press that Elon Musk gave, only an hour or two after the landing. The audio has quite a bit of wind noise on the microphone; but you can hear everything the reporters heard. That YouTube audio was posted yesterday, 23 Dec 2015.

Today, someone has helpfully posted a full transcript of the recording. (link [http://shitelonsays.com/transcript/postlanding-teleconference-with-elon-musk-2015-12-22 here]). If you use any of this as a primary source to details about the launch, flight, landing, future plans, etc., you should recognize this is a [[WP:PRIMARYSOURCE|primary source]], and while okay to use for [[WP:V|verifiability]] purposes in some cases, is not considered as good a source for Wikipedia as a secondary source, something written on by a reliable source (like a newspaper, or one of the space media journalists).
