Musk's vision for Mars and beyond.

Gotta love these big, big, dreams. Make it happen, Mr. Musk, if you can.

It's amusing sci-fi.

Not enough gravity on Mars for humans to maintain their health. What say you? Right click the image.

Well, I suspect that we could adapt to that. But if not, then perhaps we should consider terraforming Venus. Initially, we'd need to blow off some of its excess atmosphere, of course. And....hmm, I'm not the first to think about doing this. Looks difficult. No surprise in that.

The whole Mars question as far as human habitability is up in the air. Just the journey to Mars means exposure to a high level of cosmic rays over an extended period.

No one is doing adequate work for the biology problem of adapting to living on Mars. Focusing on the rocket science and neglecting the formidable challenges of living on Mars is a good way to achieve the stated goal of dying on Mars though.

We are already engaged in the experiment of terraforming Earth to be like Venus. It would be a wiser demo to terraform Earth to be more like itself than like Venus. Baby steps first.

Should eventually be enough StarLink sats in orbit to walk to Mars...

Thanks, Elon.

Maybe, just maybe the real purpose of StarLink is to terraform Earth back to Earth by shading out sunlight? :Think: :eek:
