Same. I am sick of lazy opening posts.And no, I'm not watching a YouTube video....talk about just lazy spam posting)
Wow! Flight to Mars is real and it's happening. The best part was at the end when Elon explained his motivation for doing all this.
Really shortsighted, yes there have been failures, ever since the first failure to place a small satellite into orbit. Now SpaceX has landed and used its launch rockets over and over, one rocket has been used 26 times. SpaceX has successfully landed Falcon 9 boosters 435 times. Name another company that has been able to land and reuse their launch rocket once.Lol, his rockets seem to fall back to earth. Haven't noticed?

It's the second stage that has been having problems but, it will be solved just as all the others have.
Lets see, 1 failure versus at least 435+ successes, Hmmmm, yep, he needs get another business this one is a flop.What was that rocket he had such success with this week?
BYW, he is a whore. We did people we can trust involved in such ventures.
Rotflmao!Lets see, 1 failure versus at least 435+ successes, Hmmmm, yep, he needs get another business this one is a flop.![]()
Can't, never turned it on.Rotflmao!
He has set a record for failures.
Turn off Fox!
I call bullshit.Can't, never turned it on.
Going to? Could be done now. Surviving? Probably a lot further off than 15 years.We're not going to Mars for 15 years at least.
One should not be looking in a mirror when they say such things.I call bullshit.
If it's not survivable then we aren't going.Going to? Could be done now. Surviving? Probably a lot further off than 15 years.
With a ****o like Musk and his thiasus of sycophants and grifters, the problem is that they might just send people to die on or around Mars.If it's not survivable then we aren't going.
Every endeavor has it's dangers at start up, it's estimated over 30,000 died during the westward expansion, now we make the cross-country trip every day.With a ****o like Musk and his thiasus of sycophants and grifters, the problem is that they might just send people to die on or around Mars.
Then, assuming all of that happens, you need a constant stream of transports delivering food, water, and medical supplies from Earth to Mars. While technically possible, it would be insanely inefficient and financially ruinous with the technology we have.We're not founding a Mars base any time soon unless it's a suicide mission. Hell, we don't even know if we can get people there without them all losing their shit during the long flight.
Re-supply would be out of the question. You couldn't even build a whole fleet of rockets and send them off at periodic intervals because Earth's orbit and Mars's have to line up at a certain point(s) for the flight to work. Otherwise, it would take far far longer.
We don't have the slightest clue how to terraform short of pumping a shitload of CO2 and other greenhouse gases out...but that's here on Earth, which has an atmosphere and a magnetosphere.
Oh right and Mars doesn't have a ****ing magnetosphere, which means it can't retain an atmosphere. We have no idea how to give a planet a magnetosphere, and it is impossible if current theorizing is right (that Mars lost its magnetosphere because its core cooled).
Any colony would have to be self-contained and almost certainly built from materials we brought. OR, the more likely scenario, we send autonomous robots that can also be directed from afar (but note: not for careful work given the message lag between Mars and Earth; about 3 to 22 minutes depending on where each planet is in its orbit. They'd have to be able to convert the iron and various stone dust that covers Mars into useable metal. Etc.
Should be with the technology we have "now". I have no doubt we will at some time have people living on Mars, just not in our life time.Then, assuming all of that happens, you need a constant stream of transports delivering food, water, and medical supplies from Earth to Mars.
