Elon Musk believes that the thoughts and actions of every human on earth is controlled by a super intelligent alien race.... Seriously! The man is a lunatic and the only trip he will be going on in the future will be to either an insane asylum or a jail for being a shyster.

The first stage has 42 rocket engines burning at the same time. The Soviets tried getting 30 to operate simultaneously on their N1 booster but had harmonics problems.

I have a feeling this isn't going to be as easy as the animation suggests.

The emotional support for expending billions of dollars to colonize a planet being blasted with cosmic radiation flummoxes me (Mars has no magnetic field to protect humans on the surface, to say nothing of any other life).

I support a space program, but not this Mars BS, and certainly not Musk’s grand fleecing of the taxpayers...

I suspect practical space travel will depend on developing something other than chemically fueled rockets.To make it an everyday thing will require something like figuring out how to access that dark energy we are told is all around.

Anyone who cannot refrain from constantly using F-bombs to get his point across and who purposely uses them has his own problems, and is not worth reading.

All Musk nonsense aside, the idea of sending people up to a space station or moon base prior to the long Mars journey makes MUCH more sense than trying to escape earth’s gravity with a huge ship carrying lots of people and stuff.
