The best thing of this is that our generation is going to see the landing, the first step on mars by humans, the first house, the first.....

How about specific schedule?

I really want to write Mr. Musk a letter or something. He has given me the motivation to change my entire life!! I will be focusing on my health. I'm going to start working out 5 days a week, and eating healthy. I'm 22 and I want to go to mars in my lifetime, so health is the #1 thing to enable me to go and work on mars and help humanity to expand and flourish!! Maybe mars could use a sonogram technician who specializes in cardiovascular and vascular, perhaps I could be one of the first sonogram techs on mars!!!!

Considering that at the moment no man has been sent in space from spacex and vectors have big problems landing, imho it's just a proclama...

Attempt another scam, as it was a month ago? Radiation will kill them before we can fly, tunnel for the money.
-
Please land one on Venus for the sake of seeing what it looks like I bet it looks dope for the two hours the craft may sit there before melting. :D

ahhh the naysayers, and their net worth of working of 0

Space X is a FRAUD!! it is the new NASA to keep you entertained. They cannot go to space. They cannot deal with the radiation or the ABSOLUTE VACUUM. Do you really think those thin ships or suits would withstand an absolute vacuum?? Think again. It would be like withstanding the crushing pressure of the deepest point in the ocean, but in reverse. Make sense?? They'd explode instantly if they went up in the ships or suits they have. IT"S A TV SHOW. Mind control to entertain you.

All the luck in the world Elon Musk!

They will be lucky if they get that alleged launch site in Boca Chica,Texas finished in 2018. They will be doubly lucky if the alleged sea level rise doesn't have the site covered before it is finished.

2018, enough time to get the set built.
-
You've gotta be shitting me!
These idiots can't manage low-Earth-orbit LEO. They just threw Zuckerberg's satellite into a smoking crater that used to be an expensive launch pad.
...and now they're off to Mars?
Whut? -
LOL!!! unbelievable.
-
After today's launch it's going to be renamed to "dragging" No thanks!
I'll wait for the next rocket!
Seriously though..I want to see him do it! -
nice one
-
one step close to become type 1 civilization
-
please rename the space craft to Harambe not dragon
-
Go SpaceX! Cheers from New Zealand!
-
I dont agree with this mission. Nasa was preparing more rover missions for 2018 for searching of life. Now with dirty humans on mars all the sustrate will be contaminated
-
Mars One wants to colonize Mars with a one way crew. SpaceX just wants to see if getting humans to the surface of Mars is even possible. So far SpaceX has shown no interest in signing up with Mars One.
