He didn't have a Tesla, he just had a vivid imagination.

Looks a bit snug in there. Glad they got down OK. Live on YouTube.

Well the FAA were investigating Musk for the previous explosion to the last one. He wasn't allowed to launch any rockets until the investigation was complete and ta da: The Muskrat goes messing with the FAA and launches another rocket which goes bang too and grounds flights from Orlando, Miami and Palm Beach - 6th of March before that investigation was complete. You know - the one that may never be completed. But don't let air safety get in the way of good 'ole pioneering.
What a clusterf*ck. He ain't going to Mars. No f*cker will got to Mars. Living on Mars is totally impractical and impossible. It's possible in the vivid imagination of a super ego who thinks he may live forever but in reality, it might make him broke and look silly. He can't use Tesla as a cash cow to fund it 'cos that's sinking quicker than Trumps mental capacity.
Each launch costs between $62 and $67m. 463 launches. Think about it - 463 launches. That's a lot of bucks that could go on climate issues, poverty, education in the 3rd world (Bill Gates?), contraception in poor countries, food for malnourished babies... hang on...
How TF is burning or blowing millions up going to 'save humanity'?!
How many of the 8bn of us can he get to Mars? I mean a handful of billionaires ain't going to reduce over population and finite resource use. Nothing to spend their cash on Mars. No populace to control.
I got a better solution: string the f*cker from a lamp post and seize al his assets. Make sure his wifey X and the other 10 children have to apply for a welfare cheque...

There are so many issues that would need resolving just getting there that makes it many years away (at best) eg how do you protect the human crew from radiation? ISS is inside the Earth's magnetic field which provides a lot of protection ... Mars isn't ...
All Musk thinks he needs is a big rocket. Maybe more important is thinking ability and science (like the science DOGE is taking his chainsaw to).

Well you've got a severe case of MDS
I think your seat to Mars won't be forthcoming after that outburst
Stop it, seek help.

I hope this is just you being hyperbolic rather than genuinely suggesting we start executing people we don't like. Kudos for joining in the spirit of Naca from the get go though.

Can't we just put Musk inside the next rocket he tries to launch, and sit the tangoed Tw@t next to him?
It would benefit everyone.
It would benefit everyone.
It would certainly focus Musk's mind on design reliability and safety.

As rockets go the Falcon 9 is one of the most reliable ever built.
Consider a vehicle has to go from standstill to 19,000 mile an hour in 90 seconds. The inherent dangers of space flight are clear, pushing the limits of modern day technology.
Same for re entering earth's atmosphere, travelling at meteorite speeds pushing the limits of heat shield technology.
Space travel is not a safe thing to do. Much like travelling to deep depths of the ocean, so many things can and do go wrong, catastrophically

Bollox. If Space X was a NASA project, it would have been grounded years ago.

Well that's a relief. When they start testing manned Space X rockets (like Soyuz), they will need a monkey. Perhaps you should apply.

What a moron.
Orbital velocity is 17 500 mph and reached in about 9 minutes.
19 000 mph is reached briefly during descent.
You don't say! Much more since you think that anything let alone a human could survive accelerations of 95g! Everything is less safe when Musk has anything to do with it. The concept of a safe car is alien to him (see what I did there? Of course you didn't; never mind.)
