Elon Musk spoke at The Mars Society on making Starlink for Mars and Moonship on October 17, 2020 and highlights (recap) are here. Within this online conference Elon announced many interesting things. Self sustaining city on Mars is the core aim for Elon Musk's SpaceX and Starship spacecraft prototype. Elon Musk speaks that humanity have to made self sustaining city on Mars before the World War III start. The goal is to put enough people to Mars and enough tonnage. Metane is the general propellant.
When the Starship will make stratosphere flight is currently secret. Elon said that Starship will make the first complete flight next year. Orbital refilling is needed. Moonship to be announced in 2022.Elon Musk announces Starlink to Mars, Starship's stratospheric flight and Moonship in 13 minutes

Just think, if the Lee/Harris S.386, “Make The United States into India” bill would have passed years ago, none of this would have been possible.
“So maybe it’s not idiotic or ridiculous after all.”
Indeed it is. That does not negate the benefits of his ridiculous obsession. These benefits are incalculable. Mars is not a remedy to what Ailes us on earth. One, Mars is far closer to the Sun than Earth.
So, when the one day when the Sun begins to expand Mars will be a victim before well the earth. So, what is the benefit there?
The answer, there is none. The entire concept is ludicrous. But, again, his ludicrous obsession has it’s benefits.
One, Mars is far closer to the Sun than Earth.

I really like Kevin’s reports.
[ If he had an inertial damper/gravity shield generator, he wouldn’t be building rockets at all. :^) The switch to stainless came from a structural integrity issue and the heat of reentry. ]
He might to get the tech “under the radar” ...
Same here, easily in my top ten YTers. He hasn't mentioned his lawyer wife in a long time, that I've seen anyway.
LOL, you've earned one:
So, when the one day when [Huh?!] the Sun begins to expand [...]
That will be in about 5 billion years.
[...] Mars will be a victim before well [Huh?! I think you mean: "well before"] the earth.
False premiss - > faulty conclusion.
The entire concept is ludicrous. But, again, his ludicrous obsession has it’s [sic! Should be "its"] benefits.
You are amazing! You obviously understand much more about the subject of Astronomy and Astrophysics than all the scientists Musk employs!
I could just sit here all day and listen to your drivel! It's really very entertaining!
Regards,
Kevin had his wife on about 2 months ago to discuss a legal issue. They are a cute couple.
One, Mars is far closer to the Sun than Earth.

WHAT? Countless astronomers ranging over 10s od hundreds of years are amazed at your discovery! Either that, or you failed preschool.
Wow, my advice is to spot posting for a while.
Musk is an unusually creative and bright guy. What if Starlink isn’t actually for delivery of WiFi? What if it’s actually a fulfillment of Tesla’s desire to deliver power wirelessly. The first step would be to have the distribution nodes in place.
I was glad to hear Elon setting a goal for the first Mars colony to be self-sustaining without the need for resupply ships from the earth. IMO another goal should be an ability to return viable couples to the homeworld for re-population purposes.
I watched the starship burner test in Bocha Chica in the wee hours this morning. Appeared to be successful.
It was interesting to hear him say, finally, that Mars colony's self-sustaining capability won't be during his own lifetime.
Check the tagline....
lol- good tagline
lol, not quite there yet
Also: SpaceX Star ships 8,9,10 as well as 12 and 13 are in the works. The long game is being planned and executed.

He may be a bit crazy. But it’s a glorious crazy.
