Elon musk and what he's doing is just not what we need. For starters do you have any idea how far off we are technologically to terraform anothr planet that is a barren red wasteland with some ice?
Instead of indulging in pushing humans to new horizons, why doesn't he use the wide range of resources in tesla and space X to improve the wellbeing of the planet we live on that's currently being eaten alive by the endless cycle of Capitalism which destroys what we rely on in consequence for constant growth.
I'll tell you why space X is so fixated on Mars. Bc terraforming the earth is just too familiar and not cool enough.
God damn we would get more use colonising the moon rn than Mars.
We don't need another planet, we need to prevent our current planet from imploding. Humans don't deserve to colonise the new frontier of space if our home planet is a mess.
Look Elon musk's besr quality to his business model is exploring out of the box possibilities eith our current tech. He's probably thinking even if what he pushes to create with his companies fajls, it could contribute to future development. But then why doesn't he focus that on more immediately dangerous and NECESSARY things. I just don't get it.
