  No, his plan was to build greenhouses on Mars.

    Perhaps that's just because he was talking to people who think another literal moonshot was a figurative moonshot.

      Er, no. That was his stated goal as a member of the Mars Society's board of directors when these talks happened. He wanted to purchase a Dnepr ICBM and retrofit it for that purpose. When the deal was rejected, he discussed building his own rockets with Michael Griffin.
