PROMETHEUS AT SPACEX: A MONUMENT TO HUBRIS
The "classical" foundry, Atelier Missor of France has created a 50ft statue of the Titan Prometheus, meaning forethought, at the cost of 1 million dollars. It is made of titanium, a corrosion resistant material. The statue was installed at Starbase in Texas, an industrial complex, testing site and rocket launch facility serving as the headquarters for SpaceX. But is not funded by SpaceX or Musk ( link ), so the question remains who paid for it? In the modern reading the myth of Prometheus stands for human intelligence, foresight, the advancement of human knowledge and technology, and rebellion against tyrannical authority. But that's not even half the story. Modern man, being the ideologue that he is, is very good at cherry picking what's expedient. Not long ago the YourTube channel Philosophy Across Time ( link ), posted the entire retelling of the story of Prometheus and how he stole the fire from the gods and gave it to humanity.
