    Elon Musk will never personally set foot on Mars lmao. He might send some poor saps there to greatly risk their lives for a headline, but there is no fucking way we set up a standard of living Mars suitable to Elon Musk's expectations. There's no way we make travel safe enough that he'd risk his earthly wealth to go there. Even he knows this, he's just looking for attention.

          Mars is so mind mindbogglingly stupid. Have these capitalist pieces of shit never heard of a rotating habitat? it can orbit earth meaning much smaller travel time, no reentry issue, mars is just a shitty rusty habitat with less gravity than a spinny boi and no atmosphere to breathe. I am not even into space, I am a math student and I know more than these dumbasses.

        Yup, risk other peoples lives to create and test the tech to try and ride out the climate apocalypse.

        that's dumb tho, earth is going to be far nicer than mars for at least the next century. Musk can always build a billion dollar bunker in the middle of bumfuck canada

        if he actually wants a mars colony, the reason is to serve as a backup for in case earth's atmosphere gets so bad that you can't even breathe anymore.

        once his instruments clock in 1000 ppm CO2 he'll hit the launch button outside his bunker with him (or his progeny if he's dead by then) inside it
