“You can choose between your blood boiling, you know, fizzing up like a can of soda, dying from having your muscles deteriorate, freezing to death, you name it, you have a lot of options,” said Stirone of the ways humans can die on Mars.

I've never felt the colonization of Mars was realistic, but I always felt a station, like the Russian space station, was plausible. It would be just another stepping stone into exploring the universe. We have to start somewhere.

This the second hateful article this week about Mars and Elon Musk. The Atlantic did their hit piece earlier.

Just a matter of when

Ya other yumans per usual. elonmusk

I've have decided to stay on earth.... To try and mend in my own small way this plant(gaia) that bore me.....

I read the headline but what I see is, 'shill for Tesla'. She's going to hit 100, and mars bullshit iantn gonna save your investment.

Musk is going to be the first to Mars but JeffBezos is going to make it safe.

Musk City, South Elonia. But, will Bitcoin be the official currency?

Yikes, what a terribly misguided and unintelligent take.

Just glanced at your name/handle to check if its TheOnion

The entire planet wants to kill us. So it is best we send plenty of 3D printing Robots to build for us and dig under ground. Take the leg work out of the journey for first arrivals.

Ooooo. I'm so scared. Bring on Mars!!!

Wow, I thought space colonization would be safe. Who knew!!

Please tell me this journalist is joking 🙃

Very wealthy men succumb to infantile delusions of grandeur. Mars is a gulag. And humans can’t survive long-term in space. We’re part of the earth. Its gravity, day-length, ecosystems, symbioses. We survive here or nowhere.

What could go wrong?

Women will be the first to Mars. Need to have dinner ready guys show up.

They forgot to mention in the article that this woman clearly sucks

Microbes, if found on Mars, would prove the existence of life on that planet. But on this planet, this isn’t considered life.

He wants to be the first human on Mars, what's so hard to understand?

They haven't solved the problem of not being able to reproduce in Space! There is radiation. How can you colonize any planet. No one has ever had sex in Space.🎤

Some people object colonization of Mars based on different philosophy. It’s a debatable topic. “If there is life on Mars, I believe we should do nothing with Mars. Mars then belongs to the Martians, even if [they] are only microbes”.

Gastar tanto dienro en misiones a Marte, cuando hay mucho dolor y sufrimiento en la Tierra. Muchas personas que viven en extrema pobreza que necesitan ayuda.

Send the Republicans to Mars

This is the worst piece from CNBC I’ve ever read. Colonization is not about power and ownership - although if we don’t do it, you better believe another country will - it is about having a backup plan.

Dangers await humans every time they going to the work...

How about you set your sights on meeting EPS estimate with Tesla.

Such hate..why does the entire USA school system lie to kids then about you can be anything you want or do? When the msm lamers hate on people trying to do what they want. cnbc toxic people you just wait until elonmusk makes going to Mars a reality. Last laugh will be on CNBC

When you see news like this you know the Fed has printed too much money. Corporate Media please stop helping Snake oil salesmen to monetize dreams.

Why not colonize the bottom of the Oceans, might be easier and people could keep an eye on things

OK

Leave elonmusk alone. Let the man do what he wants do in mars.The governments of all countries sud focus on the dangers on earth. elonmusk alone is not resonsible to fix earth. Learn to take responsibilty governments. Its ur and all the people of the planet responsibility too

I am more of a space station type these days. Why even deal with the gravity sink, weather extremes, atmospheric anomalies, etc of a planet if you don't need to? Is colonizing Mars a much better use of energy than developing livable self-contained colonies?

Why does Elon have such a hard-on for Mars?

Let's go fuck up Mars

We have a real Climate Change danger here right on earth

Dangers await humans on Earth.

U can’t do anything on earth 🌍 Unbelievable
