Elon on Mars. Um... Is this really the best mind we have?

[Dans La Lune]

We need to get to Mars because eventually the Earth will be incinerated by the Sun. And I'm sure this cosmic calamity will spare Mars.

This guy is an imbecile, or he thinks his audience is full of imbeciles.

How does he plan on strengthening Mars’ magnetic field? Thats before you do any terraforming.

I believe his plan is to *something something* and then nuke Mars. And no, I'm not kidding.

The sun won’t incinerate the Earth for several billion years. If that’s his justification, then there is no rush.

In actuality, he wants to go to Mars because he’s a megalomaniac and when he has control over the air people breathe, he can force them to do whatever he wants.

Musk isn’t a scientist. I doubt he is even aware that Mars lacks a magnetosphere.

As long as they evac Matt Damon before they do.

 

[americanwoman]

It's a plot to get him back to his home planet with some company.

Total Recall reference?

Even if there's a rush, the plan makes no sense. Mars is the next planet from the sun.

He's either stupid or he's a con artist. Or he's both. None of those available choices reflects well on capitalism.

Y'know, I'm not typically much of a scold about drugs.

But this is obviously what happens when you take too much ketamine.

He's a drug-addled con artist and idiot.

Starting to think letting this brainiac defund cancer research was a bad idea.

See, the thing is, Elon Musk is NOT an imbecile, and he doesn't have an "audience". A speaker, a singer, a musician has an audience. Musk is an entrepreneur and an innovator, and unequivocably the most successful entrepreneur and innovator in the world.

Your false characterization of Musk (being an imbecile) says a lot more about your distorted perception of the world than it does Elon Musk's lack of intelligence.

 

[Helix]

What future generations (though it's obvious right now) can learn from this is that when you let one person have all of the money, he or she will only want more and will get it by eating your face.

As @bomberfox alluded, we're going to need a global magnetic field on Mars before we even consider trying to live there, but I do admire Jesse Watter's ignorance about the sun eventually roasting us.

That stuff is MAGA gold.

MAGA.

 

[bomberfox]

Kids dont ****ing do ketamine. Like a vivance/paxil mix like what im on gives you what someone like him needs with fewer episodes and side effects.

 

[Questerr]

Total Recall reference?

No, just a literal fact of space colonization by private corporations. When a billionaire owns the machines that produce air for you, any dissent can be crushed by simply cutting off air.

Musk wants to enslave an entire people.

The last time Musk was personally responsible for an “innovation” he created the biggest lemon since the Edsel.

Like i get people wanna try to see what works well for them since every friggen drug out there designed to treat such things are insanely strictly controlled and its a pain in the ass to get them but ketamine isnt the answer.

You can’t make a magnetosphere for a planet. You can’t force a planet to have a spinning iron core.

The only “solution” to the lack of a magnetosphere I’ve ever seen for Mars is to build a gigantic radiation shield in synchronous solar orbit with Mars. It’s mass would be something like 1000x the mass of everything we have ever put into space.

Well its worse than even that! He wants to invade Mars and colonize it with his spawn.

 

[Questerr]

I need to hunt down the interview Musk did where he went full mask off when asked how the average worker would pay for a trip to Mars and his response to was just to openly advocate for indentured servitude.

The best bet, in my opinion, within our solar system would be Europa on account of the abundant water and being protected by Jupiter's magnetic field, but I'm not sure I'd want to live there, and the sun will eventually strip even Jupiter.

“Eventually” again being measured in hundreds of millions to billions of years.

Jupiter has a magnetic field, but it also is highly radioactive by itself.

Being rid of Io would certainly lessen the radioactivity a decent amount.

Any suggestions how?
