Elon Musk on SpaceX "Living on Mars is the Easy Part"

1. Yes, living on mars is, relatively speaking, easier than getting there. Think about it, there are people living in space right now. The people in the ISS are living in the cold, hard, unforgiving vacuum, and they do it for months at a time. Sure, they're protected from a lot of radiation by the earths magnetosphere, which Mars lacks but still. Living on a planet with an atmosphere and gravity and tons of water? PFff. Easy. Relatively. What he means is that, to get enough people to mars to start a colony, you have to make it affordable. You have to make it pay for itself. Which, at the moment, is impossible. But if you could bring the price down to something less than an average american home?!! There are literally millions of people that would go. Hell, I'd take that loan, and go live on another freakin' planet. And to make it affordable, you have to make things re-usable. Which, guess what, means there's a space ship going back to Earth! It's not a one way ticket! Boom, mars colony, inter-planetary trade, tourism, freaking Martian babies, and Martian government, and Martian culture! This is an exciting time to be alive.
2. Going to mars? Get to the moon first. "space may be the final frontier but its made in a hollywood basement" (californication)
3. Why - when each scientist knows that that VanAllen Belt is 20 000 KM thick, not 2000 MK and
   passing that belt is the equivalent of over a 10 million X-rays
   why there are people discussing human Mars voyages

5. This Elon guy is the biggest imposter I have ever seen , he fails at every thing he does , and now even though he can't make his rocket to get off the ground successfully he's talking about mars , how stupid .
6. Did he heeehihihihihihi, wait, wait, did he just say "intergalactic trucking company"? Do you have any supersonic bicycles as well? I sure could use some :P
7. Could this faggot be more dishonest ?
8. That guys looks like dracula

10. Musk is a lying sack of shit.
11. l liked musk when l was a kid go to the tuck shop and buy some.
12. Living on Mars is the Easy part? I think maybe the "easy" part is getting there. That planet is dead and terraforming wouldn't happen overnight, plus what's he gonna do about the planet's pretty much dead magnetic field that is letting the remaining atmosphere escape into space? not to mention it has less than half the gravity of Earth.
13. Supersonic jets are banned overland in the U.S. and much of Europe, that is why flights havent gotten faster
14. I like his optimism, i enjoy his dreams. We need more visionaries like him.
15. do you gullible people belive this bullshit? space does not EXIST!
16. Apart from "intergalactic", this interview is pretty darn good
17. he has the same IQ as Jorge Bush
18. This person need to figure out how to get his rocket off the ground successfully , before thinking about getting to mars
19. The indian dude looks like a lizardman in human form.
20. faggots, you guys are all faggots
