I'd volunteer for this in a heartbeat.

Please do call me conspiracy looney or whatever you want.
That million people will be the rich people of the world, living in extrem luxury on Mars, on a clean, spacious planet, while on earth 10 billion overcrowded slaves will provide for the 1 million rulers, being controled in the ultimate dystopia by robotic police force.
Do you think he's doing this for the good of mankind ? No, he's doing it for his billionaire friends. We're just sheep or cows to milk for them.

Meh, more dreaming of a rich kid. He can't provide what he promises, it's the same as with recovering rockets. NASA already did that with space shuttles, it's just that you have to basically rebuild the entire shuttle after each space mission and it costs the same as using them only once.
Before someone starts saying how brilliant engineer he is, no he's not. He got rich on SW.
Evildead666
At least he's pushing the envelope.
No one else is really trying to get our species off this planet.
Once we get multi-planetary, hopefully some of the Arseholes on this planet will stop fighting over scraps of land, of go boldly where no Human has gone before, and claim some other planet as their own....
Or let us leave, and leave them fighting over their scraps of land...

Another SpaceX project that'll blow up on the launch pad.

The problem is, I can't NOT fund him. He takes government money, so I have no choice. I do not support him one bit.

Makes me want to watch Total Recall (1990)

I'm tired of people who just give up, and believe that money in their pocket is actually going to do something for them!
The "Space race" back in the day was based on "OMG Commies!!!!" and that sort of reaction, and money was printed.
We'll quite happily spend Billions, if not Trillions of $$ killing each other (and i don't see you bitching about that with Tax dollars...).
So they got a grant from the Gov....
So does NASA, where do you think their money comes from ?
They all got Grants from the Gov at some point, Blue Origin etc...
Once upon a time, cars were only for Rich people, so were refrigerators and TV's.
If we don't aspire to greater things, then we will just wither and die, and become slaves.
SpaceX is in it for the money, yes, in the long run, not every year, making dividends to shareholders.
The 'Rich' are now running Tesla's 🙂
yay.
They could have priced Tesla's up there with Ferrari's, and made a lot less of them, and a lot more money. But they didn't.
I believe he is doing this for mankind. All of us.

How about colonizing the moon first? Small steps.
Evildead666
It should technically be the first step.
It would be much easier to plan and enact launches from the moon, than from orbit.
it would be costlier, but a lot safer.

Just because you pay taxes doesn't mean you get to have your way with every single dollar used for them. Your share is so infinitesimally small as to be completely irrelevant. The taxes you pay could disappear tomorrow and the budget wouldn't need to change a single bit, no one would ever know.
So, to be clear, you don't fund him in any way, you don't even directly fund most of the things in your home city.

Sorry but am not going to go colonise Mars unless there are some women invovled!

No, just no! Please leave me alone!!!
I don´t want anybody around me!...:roll:

Exploiting the entire rest of the solar system makes more sense to me. The dystopian overlords may have to spend more in the short term to get the slaves off the planet but, it pays off in the long term when they don't have to worry about habitability of random planets.
Reardan
The idea that we can prevent contamination of the entire solar system forever is an absurd one. I'm not even sure it has a real moral basis. We aren't concerned with bacteria and single celled organisms on Earth. Once we've done a reasonable search of a planet and found nothing, we should stop worrying so much.
Embra
This all hinges on a usable supply of water and being able to extract it. The moon does not have that option other than supplying the colony from earth.

"Building it for the Elite?"
WTF are you even talking about? What a ridiculously misguided statement. There is so much wrong with this I dont even know where to start.

Well not the craziest thing this guy has said of late

Lol you're f*cking mad mate, pushing the ever increasing levels of Nasa edits the photos madness aside you can actually f*cking see Mars with the naked eye and you can clearly see it has a red hue (glint) to it.
I don't care what badger smoking nut bar project Musk comes up with next, he's moving in to the crazy grandad of the tech world, I am going to hide in the garden shed and beat the mole men that live in my garden with my slippers, yes grandad you sure are. The only difference is that Elon Musk has the money to make really big slippers and sit in a really big garden shed, not my money so I couldn't care less. I am more concerned about the one day when he actually does finally beat one of those mole men... sorry actually come up with some project that isn't bat sh*t insane and it does actually work.

It's important to know how to grow potatoes with your own (and everyone else's) faeces. 🤓
