I think Elon Musk should do as he pleases. It’s his money.

If he dies, he dies. If he thrives he thrives. Same with those who want to go with him.

Lot’s of people died when they left Europe to come here. But some survived and thrived, and here we are.

Don’t listen to the stay at home Europeeing boys.

Memo To Werner Herzog:

Click the Pic

I’m guessing Musk is not overly interested in the opinions of movie makers.

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids.

Shut up and eat your shoe, Werner.

Werner did the movie Grizzly Man. Really a great documentary. It is a tragic story but I found parts of it funny anyway. It is the real people in the story like his ex girlfriend and the local coroner, etc. You have to see it to understand. Someone did a little satire video several years ago that I saw on YouTube. I still consider it the funniest video I have ever seen on the internet.

That is a lot of water. Wonder how it got there.
There's an old theory that Mars once had an atmosphere, but was of insufficient size for its gravity to hold it. Over millions of years it leaked out into space - only a trace is left. All liquid water was lost too, unless it was underground or permanently frozen. Some of my favorite science fiction is about ancient Mars civilizations, once vital but now dead or dying.

The same theory says Earth once had more atmosphere than it does now. It leaks away too, but with our higher gravity less of it escapes. In the end, Earth will be barren too, just like Mars (so they say).

Herzog has a point - Mars will never be habitable on its surface - but neither will the Moon.

...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.

First of all, why do we care what a film maker has to say about a billionaire who is actually running a space program that has figured out how to land rocket stages for reuse? (I’m not saying I like Musk or agree with where his funding has come from... but unlike his BS car programs the space program is really knocking it out of the park.)

Second of all, how can anyone be so sick of mind that they somehow equate exploration and colonization of new places with a failed political ideology that collapsed the Soviet Union? If I understand the twisted non-logic correctly he’s implying that humans expanding their sphere of influence is negative like an insect swarm that destroys everything in its path and that man will decide to stop doing this and rebel against the idea.

If you truly believe this, then you believe that mankind’s best future course of action is to stagnate until it dies out.

That’s hideous.

And unfortunately if you worship the creation rather than the Creator who commanded us to have dominion over our world... you think stupid things like this.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Every asshole has an opinion, or something like that.

[zipper]

Herzog isn’t in the same intellectual solar system as Elon Musk. Or it”s asteroid belt.

Elon revolutionized space travel with reusable rockets. He’s a visionary, And if you pay attention, he thinks like us.

Herzog works in Hollywood with other blue-pill psychos.

“Herzog describes the idea as “an obscenity,” and says humans should “not be like the locusts.” “

What a moronic comment - locusts destroy, humans create and build. He probably thinks that it would be a wonderful thing if humans went extinct.

Maybe he can start by offing himself.

[missthethunder]

FYI only.

If you go to his twitter acct

Elon Musk
@elonmusk

Be sure to click on Tweets & replies.

He comments alot and even answers some questions.

Here’s a funny one...

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

THIS POS IS WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!

We SHOULD colonize and reach out into the STARS!!!

We are the only lifeforms we know that dares ask “WHY ARE WE HERE”

We owe it to ourselves and the universe to expand AT LEAST until we run into others who as questions LIKE WE DO!!!

[mrsmith]

Nothing like two idiots arguing to get clicks

[higgmeister]

WERNER HERZOG needs to real all of the Foundation series. The Trilogy and then all of the later sequels, persequels and the extensions to other related series.   Herr Herzog's brain would pop open like a chestnut roasting on Christmas Eve.

[sergeantdave]

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.
