Maybe he should just take a one-way solo trip if he loves Mars so much? I think we could crowdsource the funding for that.

    I’m usually rather passionate about space exploration and stuff, but we don’t need to send people to Mars that bad.

    Please have Harris win so this guy can go to jail or whatever the fuck he’s so desperate to avoid.

    So, one more item in the “Pro” column for voting against Trump.

    Then maybe we can work on fixing the problems here.

    What an idiot. Or is he suggesting that Harris will trigger a global thermonuclear war and so China, India or the other space powers will never be capable of interplanetary flight?

      I think he is suggesting he himself will come under legal scrutiny, threatening him: ergo mars, humanity and everything else.

      It’s all about him

        Meh. SpaceX will continue on without him. Regardless of what he claims, he doesn’t run the company. Gwynne runs the company. He talks a lot of shit and focuses on a grand vision, but the engineers make it happen. At best, he’s like Steve Jobs without any of the charisma. Can’t do it himself, but is surrounded by those that can.

      You’re forgetting they’re all fucking racist. They aren’t even considering anyone but the US could actually succeed.

    So he’ll stop “trying” to get there (using the hype to scam people) if Harris wins, right?
