Tickets to Mars Will Eventually Cost Less Than $500,000, Elon Musk Says

[DannyTN]

Remember the good old 1980s.
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again.
And everything could be the same.

I’ve got a ticket to the Moon,
I’ll be leaving here any day soon.
Yeah, I’ve got a ticket to the Moon,
But I’d rather see the sunrise in your eyes.

Got a ticket to the Moon,
I’ll be rising high above the Earth so soon.
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain,
That gently falls upon your window,
You’ll never know.

Gee, wasn’t he just at the “world government” gaggle? Trying to give away Teslas?

[EEGator]

[billorites]

but you have to stay over a Sunday night.

ha ha ha one word: radiation

AOC will tell us, it means only rich, white men will go to Mars.

There will need to be a program to subsidize the sending of marginalized, disadvantaged and LGBTQ groups to Mars.

[I want the USA back]

The first visitors must be diverse! Not all privileged White males. The passenger list must be adjusted so that there is the proper percentage of each race, each religion, each gender.

Ticket prices will be adjusted so that White males pay full price, while poor, downtrodden, oppressed victims will pay nothing.

Good news for the 1%. Visit exotic, scenic mars if you've got half a mil burning a hole in your pocket.



Seriously though, I'd go, but I'd want a few months to explore. Mars does have some incredible features. The biggest canyons in the solar system, the biggest volcano, and who knows what else.

Those are the outbound tickets. Lodging and return tickets will be considerably higher. There will be no carrier insurance on those journeys. But, they probably won’t lose your luggage, either.

[pepsi_junkie]

That’s cool because if the democrats ever get back both houses and the White House the resulting hyperinflation will mean that $500K will buy you a loaf of bread or a trip to mars. Mars seems like the best bet in such a situation, make it one way please.

[Boogieman]

Sure, they give you cheap flights, but then they’re really going to bend you over on the accommodations!

[Boogieman]

“But, they probably won’t lose your luggage, either.”

Yeah, but if you think the size limit on carry-on bags on airplanesis strict, just wait til you try to lug that golf bag on a flight to Mars!

[tet68]

I don’t mind the trip to Mars as much as I hate
changing rockets in Minneapolis or Salt Lake City.

[Empireoftheatom48]

“Radiation “ Yeah, everyone forgets about it. It’s the 800 lb Gorilla 🦍 in the room no one wants to see.

[IYAS9YAS]

But, they probably won’t lose your luggage, either.

Ah, the interplanetary travel age, Breakfast on earth, dinner on Mars (six months later), and luggage on Ganymede.

[9YearLurker]

To the moon, Alice, to the moon!

[Dr. Zzyzx]

How much will it cost to come back?

[proxy_user]

Yeah, and several years later, Tesla will turn a small profit.
