Exactly what I was thinking! You just SIMPLY setup a facility on Mars to extract iron from the planet and produce as many as you need. You just need to bring along some stuff, and SpaceX has low-cost reusable rockets which can be used for that.
WRONG. Technology only gets better and better. You are probably one of those people who didn't think humans could fly. But now we can. And so you are wrong.
I am thinking more like 5 years, or 3. You don't realize how low that SpaceX has reduced launch costs. The stainless steel rocket is already in trials (it had a small issue where it fell over in wind), but once it scales up it will be able to take us to Mars.
TOTAL BS. Musk is building a stainless steel rocket that will take us there. All we need to do is scale it up and we can do it today. Just like computers have gotten better, so has space tech. I think we will be there in a couple of years now that we have found a reliable supply of water.
Baloney! We have the tech to get there. All we need is a stainless steel rocket (and Musk is building it now). Now that we have discovered water, a colony should be simple to setup: a few solar collectors to melt the ice, we can use caves or dig to build housing to protect from the radiation. We can also use a pebble reactor for year round power. The future is here!
It isn't irrelevant. There are companies like Enron out there right now. Look for companies that hate short sellers. Enron execs detested short sellers. For a good reason: they expose inflated numbers and fake businesses. Literally the same things happen over and over again in the business world. The lessons of Enron have been forgotten because everyone wants the gravy train to keep rolling.
The reason you have never heard of it is because you Musk zealots only "know" about things that Musk does. You aren't interested in science, or technology. You just worship the P.T. Barnum of the tech world.
His "tunnel" was literally that: a tunnel. It didn't contain anything that you need to make a real transportation tunnel. That is why it was $10m. More marketing BS from Musk desperately trying to convince governments to fork over more public money.
The hyperloop WAS NOT HIS CONCEPT. The concept originated OVER 100 YEARS AGO. It is a stupid idea, that is why no one ever built it. The only thing that Tesla is a success at is making technonerds feel good about themselves.
Landing rockets WAS NOT HIS IDEA. It was done FORTY YEARS AGO. You guys are just ignorant. The reason it hasn't been done since is because it is a dubious idea. It looks cool, but has little practical value.
What success? Tesla makes niche cars for the 0.01%. SpaceX shoots satellites to LEO. You guys are impressed by tech toys. None of that is groundbreaking, just ridiculous nonsense. You know what IS groundbreaking? Linus creating Linux. That really was a game changer for not just the industry, but for the world. But you guys are so entranced by Musk who is just playing out his Iron Man fantasies because he got lucky hitting the jackpot with Paypal.
Musk thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. In reality, he just a guy who got lucky with the dotcom boom with Paypal. Similar to Mark Cuban. All these guys think they are geniuses now (not a surprise they start rocket companies). The fact that he had to "convince" the actual experts that stainless steel was the best option is a red flag.
Wait, is it "truly terrible, dehumanizing working conditions" or not quite a "utopian worker's paradise"? So confusing. I'm sure you have lots of documentation anyway.

Elon will be the one leading us to Mars. He is literally our last hope to get off this rock.

It will be relatively simple to access the water. We can already drill to that depth here on Earth, even in Antartica.

That isn't a problem. Ever heard of a desalinization plant??? That tech has been around for decades.

They are talking about the language, not the country!

No we wouldn't. We would be using some stupid Microsoft OS or Sun OS. You guys don't know what innovation is.

Plus it is really shiny and makes a nice clanging sound when it falls over.
They got $17,000,000. I'll bet the think it was a good idea!
Nuclear power is a core component of US technology?
I knew it! That is why I only shop at Walmart where they pay $8/hr. Derp.

Wow. Thanks for the links. That place looks horrible.
Are those guys still around?
I'm guessing the last one?
