@Ryan Hall i mean i know you don't care about being wrong but you are wrong, a simple google search can fix that

[@carso1500]

@Ryan Hall it's going ti be done because we want to do it, simple as, starship by itself will allow this, the most powerful and capable rocket who at the same time it's the cheapest and they are already preparing for the first orbital test flight in August of this year I personaly don't believe that we will have 1 million people by 2050, but man will go to Mars either this or the next decade that much is sure, at least try to Google about starship before talking and look a couple of videos, nasa spaceflight channel here on KZbin has an entire series of hundreds of videos dedicated to follow starship's construction and advancement and it's information that is widely available to the general public About being "meaningless" "stupid" and "unhelpful made up goals" i can notice from that alone that you are completly unaware of anything space related and your own biases and lack of knowledge cloud your judgement, space is the future of humankind, if we want to survive as a cohesive species we need to conquere space, the Mars goal only serves as a nice objective to center their efforts without running around as a headless chicken like other companies do like boeing or blue origin but the technology developed will and is already changing the world for the better in all aspects

The surface of Mars is so incredibly inhospitable, it'll be difficult just to exist there until we are able to terraform the place. It would be easier to colonize even the harshest environments on Earth than it would to colonize any part of Mars. The first people on Mars will undoubtedly have to live underground, and they will constantly be worried about long term negative physiological effects of the difference in radiation exposure, gravity, and atmosphere.

Exactly. I think Elon is a fantasy story book fan boy, like little children. He stays too much in his fantasy world. And he's also stubborn like little kids. I mean i am not denying humanity and science have achieved many things which seemed impossible once. But there's a limit of dreaming to achieve something right now damn unrealistic. I mean, 1 million ppl on mars? Come on! Entering Mars is pretty easy, but returning is almost impossible. And where the hell from, will that huge amount of food supplies for them, oxygen, and water come from?

[@DarkArc_]

@@GYMAnDroiD Elon is trying to make what people thought is fantasy a reality. I don't know why people tries to discourage him simply because they think its not possible, i don't think that there will be 1 million people on mars by 2050 (although 1 million people will definitely live on Mars at one point in time) with the current technology, future technologies may allow that plan to succeed like warp speed rockets (warp speed is theoretically possible its just that no one has done it). Just because a goal that benefits humanity as a whole is unrealistic does not mean that you should discourage him. As for the issues you stated: 1. Food can easily be transferred from Earth to Mars using Starship 100 tons cargo, or just simply by growing plants, start a farm, etc. 2. Oxygen can be created (How do you think people in outer space breathes?). 3. Water is literally inside of Mars, or just like food can be easily transferred from Earth to Mars. You should research this topic before you start giving opinions.

Innovation requires research, the driving force of research is necessity. People keep doing research and development in computer because computer is so important in our life. Covid-19 vaccine was developed quickly because it was so NECESSARY. All innovation you see nowadays are always related to computer, logistic, and medicine because those are necessary things in life. There is no necessity in colonizing mars so people are not doing research in space ship. Therefore, you won't see exponential innovation in the field of space travel. Remember it took millions of people to develop internet and computer, which result in exponential innovation. How much people developing space travel? only NASA and SpaceX?

Shit like nuclear reactors can also work without contaminating "air" in space and freely power these. Space ships, machines and buildings can be absolutely gigantic in space, and to take advantage of this you will have robots producing things. The only things they might "abuse" are the designers and bottom-level factory workers creating the original parts for that shit but at that point you'll probably have robots for that too.

a few things you havent considered here. one is that the startships will fly back so that will need to be factored into your calculations. second is the earth mars transfer orbit only occurs every 2 years sure and that is the best time to send people due to the long travel time but there is nothing to stop you from sending cargo when ever you like. it may take a year in some cases but you will not need to wait 2 years. lastly im not sure why you would need 1000+ ships for refueling, they are reusable as well. you could probably do it with a max of 100 depending on how many starships are in orbit at any one time. i dont think they will make it to 100 million people by 2050 but jsut throwing out some thoughts.

Also mind the human nature: you don't actually need to send 1 million ppl for establishing a 1 million population (albeit I also expect a somewhat higher then usual death-rate at the beginning of things, with the odd spaceship blowing up or otherwise being lost to space; not to mention your regular slip and fall type of death, knocking a helmet off or whatnot) as it wouldn't be just men sent there, but likely also couples - they could procreate in situ.
