@SpaceX @waitbutwhy I don't understand the preoccupation with Mars. Why not develop all the tech needed by going to the Moon first? :-)

@SimonZerafa@SpaceX@waitbutwhy because Mars has the reasources for sustained colinization, with eventual self sufficiency. Moon does not. -
@MaxFagin@SpaceX@waitbutwhy The Moon does have some resources and is 5 days away rather than 5+ months away if help is needed :-) -
@SimonZerafa@SpaceX@waitbutwhy By that logic, our next task should be colinizing Antarctica. It's even closer than the moon. -
@MaxFagin@SpaceX@waitbutwhy If you check, I think we already have ;-) -
@SimonZerafa Permanent scientific stations =/= colonies. The moon has great scientific use, but its colonial potential is antarctic. - 1 more reply

@SpaceX@waitbutwhy I would think a base on the moon first makes better sense. Mars is a long haul, the moon is easier to escape gravity. -
@ConwayAkers No. Moon easier to escape FROM, but harder to get TO due to the lack of aerobraking option. Del-V LEO-moon ~1 km/s > LEO-Mars -
@MaxFagin thanks, I did not know that..

I like the "Trial and Error" or should it be known as "Death or Stranding"

@SpaceX@waitbutwhy How soon until we are informed on what type of atrophy the human body will undergo in transit to the new colony? -
@MichaelBeahon@SpaceX@waitbutwhy We know what happens to the body from ISS. And we've beat astronaut bone atrophy on ISS with exercise. -
@BrucePerens@SpaceX@waitbutwhy http://goo.gl/YG3Dgk I agree exercises helps, may I email you my meso-level arguments?
