I think Mars is moving too fast too soon right now. Let us go to the moon first. Set up habitats there, so that we learn how things work.

I'm really hopeful for this and truly believe in colonizing Mars, don't wanna be stuck on Earth. :D
-
Are they planning on a moon assist or is that just for effects?
-
What about artificial gravity on the ship?

Even as a space enthusiast, one should recognize the challenges that have to be faced in order to transform this animated clip into reality, before getting too excited about Mars. I am skeptical of whether it'll happen in the near future, given the problem of comic radiation, cosmic dust, microgravity, solar flares, many health related issues etc. As far as space x's vision of sending humans to Mars is concerned, their spaceship is very small when you realize that it has to contain 9 months worth of supplies for the astronauts as well as provide large living space for 6 people to occupy themselves in. The heaviest object to be put on Mars's surface (curiosity rover) weighs only 2000 pounds and the largest thrust ever generated by a rocket(Saturn V) during lift off is only 7.5 million pounds. Space x with their falcon expects to generate 28 million pounds of thrust. So yea, its gonna be a tough time.
