     @arstechnica it's dick wagging. Musk hasn't tried building a colony on Antarctica which is far more hospitable and safer than going to Mars to die.

     @arstechnica What are the reasons for the strong desire to go to Mars? A great deal of work is already being done to create conditions on Earth that are similar to those on Mars.
