Pretty crazy that this is accurate. This man could choose to go to the moon. To die or not would be up to him.
- SideburnsOfDoom 4y ago> go to the moon. To die or not would be up to him The moon is an extremely harsh environment. Dying fairly soon is the default outcome. If a billionaire wanted to die on the moon, they could do that within maybe 5 years of announcing the plan. For EM, less time than that, as his personal space program already exists. Realistic plans to survive in a small metal box on the moon for some time, might take longer.

- metadat 4y agoStated ambitions and real motives are two different things. In hindsight it's looking like we fell for a hollow sales pitch. The odds of Musk himself physically departing the Earth forever (or even at all) on a mission to Mars are approximately zero. A true Mars-bound space farer wouldn't fritter about with all this Twitter and political nonsense, they'd stick to The Mission. Twitter becomes 100% irrelevant noise if you don't plan to stay on Earth.
