I may watch it, I may not. Thanks for the summary.

One thing. This

“Mars is our insurance policy.”

is lunacy. The only way humans can survive a Mars trip is with a major leap in propulsion technology and either transporting the hardware necessary for boring underground habitats or the ability to manufacture both the hardware and materials required for underground habitat construction.

Assuming, of course, that a source of fresh water is found and secured.

Beyond all that, it’s either fantasy or a suicide mission.

I respect what Musk is trying to do here on Earth, nothing more, besides innovation and vision (not lunacy...presuming that our government isn’t already in possession of such technology).
