Hours before his company, SpaceX, was set to launch a rocket to the International Space Station, Elon Musk gave thousands of eager fans the chance to pick his brain in a Reddit \"Ask Me Anything\" interview. <\/p>\n
(Today's SpaceX flight was scrubbed due to rocket trouble. Musk said they'll try again Friday at 5 a.m. ET.) <\/p>\n
During the interview, no topic was off limits, as Musk addressed everything from his favorite food and drink to his plan to send humans to Mars. <\/p>\n
Here's what we learned: <\/p>\n
Food and Drink <\/p>\n
When inviting the billionaire futurist to a party, be sure to offer him whiskey, his drink of choice. The South African-born Musk also likes French food and BBQ. <\/p>\n
Artificial Intelligence <\/p>\n
Musk has already warned that machines with artificial intelligence may one day be more dangerous than nuclear weapons, however he doesn't believe we're set for a robot war just yet. <\/p>\n
\"The timeframe is not immediate, but we should be concerned,\" he wrote. \"There needs to be a lot more work on AI safety.\" <\/p>\n
Mission to Mars <\/p>\n
