  1. Couple quick points of order. First, Elon is a visionary, when he can get governments to foot the bill. Musk is great at sniffing out the government cheese. Prior to getting into pissing contests with the left after he bought Twitter, Musk was one of the prime targets for obama greenie backs. Tesla was built with government funds and the private investors who bought into his B.S. ended up having their money slid over to Space-X without being told. If Musk is behind something, check the funding. Second point, who the hell wants to live on Mars? The best description of the place I heard was it was a lot like Utah without the state parks and Mormons. No offense Utah, but I've traveled the western part of your state, there ain't a lot there appealing. Mars has no minerals or ores we can mine, meaning the ROI for a project costing trillions of dollars would be squat. That dog don't hunt. And Musk knows this. He's out there spewing that bullshit about how he'll go first to set it up because he knows it is all garbage. No, he's not going anywhere that doesn't have a five-star hotel, no, he's not going to build any ship able to take people on some magical mystery tour of the Oort Cloud. What he will do is bilk the taxpayer out of a boatload of money while his crappy car company goes kaput and his gigantic Moon rocket crashes and burns. Sorry, if you get taken in by that huckster, you may get to live long, but you certainly won't prosper.
