Mars colonization is a joke. It just shows you how even smart people will suck up to you if you have billions to fund fun research.

Probably get richer quicker if you can do a back of the envelope calculation on landing rockets vs colonizing planet 55 million km away.

He's always said that his goal is to save humankind, not get rich. There's always naysayers saying it can't be done, while a dreamer does it

I'm starting to suspect you have no idea what "physics" is. Physics is exactly what is making building those larger rockets possible

It would still be immeasurably harder than inhabiting even a post-nuclear apocalypse earth—and no immense travel involved. This is so basic.
