10 superheavy launches per colonist does not admit 1M colonists, and 1M colonists is at least two orders of magnitude short of self-sufficient. It is very far from clear that Mars can physically support 100M inhabitants.

Again, nobody is saying anything about 1M colonists. That’s a stupidly high number. 100M is 100x stupider

  Musk blathers about 1M colonists all the damn time. Almost embarrassed for him: not sure whether because he believes it could happen, or would be enough.
