Same guy who called a cave diver a pedo.. because the world class cave diver who was risking his life told him how his sub was crap

And he didn't want to listen to experts

Computer chips that killed a bunch of monkeys that they tested those chips on.

shouldn't have spend all of your eloncoin on martian avocado toast

Geev deese peepuhl ayuh!

Do it.

Then get the billionaires to fight over the "right" to go first, then sit back and enjoy some fireworks lol

Hey.

I love doing fully realistic space flight simulators in virtual reality -- programs that run at 18-30 FPS from the sheer computational load of doing physics calculations and accurate particle collisions of light, gas flow exchanges, liquids , and such in real time.

I'm nuts and the idea of being alone on a desolate planet in a space suit is highly relaxing for me:

I did the "solo" Mars scenario.

Even with the ability to quick save and load, and manipulate the environmental conditions to be completely in my favor (best possible landing spot, best weather, optimal genetic splicing and variation for plants), I died.

Everyone who goes to Mars -- is going to die.

The moon is a different story, and a testing grounds to see if humanity has what it takes.

Recently, they cancelled an unmanned rover whose sole purpose was to go look at some moon ice, due to budget cuts.

That should give you a sense of our overall preparation level for Mars.

Pressure is way harder to deal with than a vacuum, not that i think mars is happening any time soon

Colonizing the bottom of the ocean would be harder than colonizing Mars. Not that either is a great idea, but just saying.

Spaceships in many ways are safer than sitting at the bottom of a ditch with 7 miles of water sitting on top of you at 30,000 atmospheres of pressure.

It's also darker at the bottom of the ocean than in space.

I'm not aware of any reason on why we'd want to colonize the bottom of the ocean, but there's many reasons to want to become a multi-planetary species. Space exploration has also lead to many technologies being used in everyday life today.

What's morally questionable about fission fragment drives?

We should strive for being a space fairing species. Except these corporations are more likely to turn our moon into a billboard we can see on earth.

I’d argue “entrepreneurs” should never be trusted

So he ran out of his 640k base memory?

Sell all inclusive tickets for the full value of their hoarded wealth, then distribute it to those who need it the most. And instead of Mars, they land on the moon and the atmosphere vents.

I imagine most of the actual professionals have left or been kicked out at this point.

What's weird to me though, is if they were just overloaded at the time, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to just say that and sound like you're super popular and in demand, than to make up some fake attack? I guess persecution complex beats ego stroking.

I can imagine the people responsible for the tech lied to Elon that it was an attack, so he doesn't fire them

Space X has an entire department that does nothing except to keep musk from meddling in projects.

It's still a company where egon murks had his hands in, so no warranty is given that ANY department there achieves anything they "claim" to do, want, can, should, would but blame others to sabotage or such, same with that department. period. There was murks in it once, you never now when some shit he pooped there would hit the fan or the oxygen generator.

Do you want a "claiming to provide oxygen" system on mars or would you rather want the ACTUAL oxygen no matter who is in charge, claims to be or not but delivers it anyway?
