    Mars knows what to do with him. -276 degree nights (as I recall, it’s cold,) highs of 60 f in the summer on the real scorchers. Oh yeah, the atmosphere is like 1/100 of ours, and lacking in oxygen. No magnetic shield, it’s a dead planet, scorched by solar radiation, no ozone layer either, the sun strips molecules of air into base elements without that magnetic shield caused by the molten core of a planet with a solid crust spinning around it, just as a glass of water turned in a circle will see the water stationary while the glass moves.

    His bullshit on mars has always been a confidence game, playing on the aspirations and dreams of those that don’t know he’s full of shit, and those also playing those people going along with him.

    I got a violation from reddit once, and abandoned that account because of that 3 day ban, for suggesting Musk should be aboard one of his launches, for advocating violence, I guess it is logical to presume anyone on one of his rockets will die given their track record to be fair.

      Yeah, but like, what did Mars do to deserve having Musk touch it? What if humans do eventually want to colonize it, it will be contaminated and 100% scum and no one wants that.

        It will be good fertilizer. Shit makes great fertilizer and they are full of that so it’s a win win really. They wouldn’t last a month even if they landed safely with all their supplies. I bet thiel and his compatriots would cannibalize Musk first, they might not even wait to land before eating musk. Like I said, great tv. And it would do wonders for preventing the vagairies of these billionaires lying and cheating to steal despite being richer (on paper, in theoretical money for the most part,) than anyone else.
