I again recall how Elon Musk's vision of sending humans to Mars is, in his own words, "a bunch of people will probably die".

Billionaires are not going to live in space. There is no living in space. The fantasy of space colonization is a pie in the sky meant to justify the existence of billionaires (and their escapist fantasies) while this world burns.

@michael_w_busch Also, halfway to Mars the fuel runs out because Musk lied about the Spaceship’s range.

@anitavondannen The last time Elon Musk was directly involved with a SpaceX rocket; it disintegrated the launch pad and then had to be exploded by range safety.

@michael_w_busch Also, they couldn’t quarantine for 4 weeks during the pandemic. How are they gonna live their live constantly indoors on Mars??

@michael_w_busch Mars? If a grown up adult tries to tell you that Mars is an option for anything...basically a snake oil salesman.

@buddywasisname I keep pointing out to Elon Musk fans that neither Musk nor SpaceX have any actual plans to send anything to Mars.

(SpaceX just sells rockets to the space agencies that do.)
