   Elon Musk just gave another Mars speech—this time the vision seems tangible

   "These are unthinkable numbers, but we’re not breaking any physics to achieve this."

     "This will require an absurd amount of launches, 10 per day, and the dispatch of a fleet of hundreds of vehicles to Mars during the short-trip trajectory window that opens between Earth and the red planet every 26 months. Ultimately, while it is challenging, Musk believes that humans could terraform a 'fixer-upper' planet like Mars."

     Please, you're KILLING me here. The guy's been snorting his own date rape drug supply far too long.

     @arstechnica AT drinking the cool aid. Mars is dead. Nothing will make it habitable for millions of years. There's no terra forming.

     @arstechnica hope we'll make it....Elon or not, Mars is not too far and could be full of surprises (good or bad)

     @arstechnica ah the weird nerds falling for the same Conman's BS for the upteenth time... And for all those wishing it will be the billionaires going to mars, more like it will be a one way free ride to anyone who disagrees with them or considered undesirable by them, involuntarily.
