SPACEX MARS CITY: WERNER HERZOG ISSUES A STARK WARNING TO ELON MUSK
Inverse ^ | 20 Nov 2020 | Mike Brown

But famed film director Herzog tells Inverse there is a massive flaw in the latter half of Musk's plan.

In a blistering criticism, Herzog describes the idea as "an obscenity," and says humans should "not be like the locusts."

In the interview, conducted earlier this month prior to the release of a new documentary on asteroids, Herzog also compares Musk's plan to the rise and collapse of communism and fascism in the 20th century. The 21st century will "quickly" end the "technological utopia like colonizing Mars," he says.

I would bet that if 100% of freepers drove a Model S, 50% would buy one.


Perhaps, if 50% of freepers had that sort of money ...

Yup. CROATOAN comes to mind.

Jamestown was nearly wiped out a few times.

And don’t even think about the Pilgrims, and how they lost more than half their people in the first winter.

I agree not cheap, buddy got into one used. They depreciate quickly, but that is to your advantage on these things. You still get Tesla support :)

Whenever I want to know all about space flight, I go to a ding-bat, fantacist film maker like Werner Herzog, rather than to a man who builds rockets for space flight.

Herzog couldn’t find his butthole with the Mt Palomar telescope and the entire ChiComm army.

Nothing like two idiots arguing to get clicks

I would not classify them as idiots, but clearly they both march to a different drummer.
And both have produced some interesting work.
