People get ready!
In 2040 Musk will be literally and metabolically 69 years old, and he is going to produce a small countryâs worth of CO2 trying to write NICE on the night sky as a birthday present to himself.
literally, elon, not one of those eggs is yours.
If theyâre uncrewed, there are a whole lot of transfer windows. He sounds like heâs repeating something from someone who knew what they were talking about, but he didnât really understand it at all. (And I wouldnât know a Hohmann transfer from a torch-burn, but hopefully Iâd mentally tag that and catch-up.)
And so what? Unless Dilbert Stank has a major Mars exploration program in his parts, whatâs he going to do, launch a CyberTruck at it?
Counterpoint: No, Elon, they wonât.
oh no, hes just repeating himself since at least 2012 with this bs of the Mars Colonial Transporter, and since 2018 its always just 2-4 years away.
and of course not a word about artemis 3.
Navigation systems will be by Level 5 Self Driving.
they will just jump straight from level zero to level X. because elno best trillionaire engineer eva. so d.o.g.eâŚ
The next transfer window will open on 4/20.

I canât believe anyone who has spent any time at all seriously contemplating the feasibility of a Mars colony really believes we are âabout 20 years awayâ from building a self-sustaining city on Mars. That probably wonât be a realistic goal for centuries, if ever.
Againâwe canât even build a self-sustaining city in Antarctica, where you can get breathable air and drinkable water and human-appropriate gravity and cosmic radiation shielding for free.
Honestly, Iâll be impressed if we have a crewed mission to Mars within 20 years.
Canât we still send Musk on an expedition to live there for 10 years?
Iâm sure he can survive if he has a few sacks of potatoes to grow from.
