Elon Musk is planning to build a city on the red planet, and live there.

Musk"is a revolutionary change" in the space world, says Harvard University astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, whose Jonathan's Space Report has tracked launches and failures for decades.

Musk wanted to somehow grow a rose on the red planet, show it to the world and inspire school children, recalls Hubbard. There are many space companies and like all of them, SpaceX is designed for profit. But what's different is that behind that profit motive is a goal, which is simply to"Get Elon to Mars," McDowell says."By having that longer-term vision, that's pushed them to be more ambitious and really changed things."

After Columbia, the agency focused on returning astronauts to the moon, but still had to get cargo and astronauts to the space station, says Sean O'Keefe, who was NASA's administrator at the time. A 2005 pilot project helped private companies develop ships to bring cargo to the station. Since 2010, NASA has spent $6 billion to help private companies get people into orbit, with SpaceX and Boeing the biggest recipients, says Phil McAlister, NASA's commercial spaceflight director.

No he's not

Then fucking do it, pussy bitch.

COVID-19 free

Boy bye and take that awful facelift with u

Can’t wait for there to be an armed workers uprising on mars

Fix mother earth first Mr. Futurist.

Proving once and for all he's rich. Not smart. He pays smart people.

Buh bye whackjob.

Bon voyage

See? Our ruling class DOES have a plan to deal with climate change.

👍

Gosh I hope so. GTFO

I'm planning to bang Angelina Jolie

You mean get a bunch of people killed?

Can he leave now?

This guy is an anthropomorphic pile of empty promises tightly packed into a suit. Maybe don’t act like it’s news every time he says he’s going to do something, huh?

Bye.

Elon Musk is an idiot.

bye

Unless he's building it with his own hands I think we're missing an important part of the equation

I'm planning on getting bitten by a radioactive spider and getting super powers and in a race to see who achieves their goal first I can safely say I have a shot

Ah, the wealthy looking to ruin other planets now. Hopefully aliens will take care of planet Earth's Capitalists.

He is too old to do that.

Ahh... to be king on Mars.

He needs first to find the medicine of eternity, and then he can go to the red planet....ridiculous!!!

Good riddance

Good you idiot please move to the red plant because nobody is impressed with you or your ideas. I feel sorry for your child with a name that will never be pronounced correctly!

What a nut job!

When does he leave?

get ye gone

No one go with him. Just shut the rocket door and blast off back to earth.

Elon Musk is looking for cheap headlines, and he's getting them.

I doubt that he's doing that

He's planning on having other people build it for him.

He couldn't even stay in the house for a month, he's definitely not about that life (on Mars)

Elon plans a lotta things.

Great idea... bring Bezos Gates and Zucks along!

Whatever

How soon can he leave?

So he'll be gone from this planet forever? I am all for this. Let's start building the rockets and materials immediately.

Elon Musk needs an intervention.

lol, I'll sign up for a pre-construction condo when available

There is only one planet humans can live at called EARTH.

Please do

Byeee!

Good riddance.

Best news ever

Bye Elon

I feel like we have 4 or 5 Kim Stanley Robinson novels about this

Howard Hughes seemed downright quaint.

Elon Musk considers it “fascism” to take mild precautions against a global pandemic. What moron would ever trust their lives to him in a hermetically sealed habitat?

Good riddance

well, he is trying to get away from all the Leftists.......

Take Trump and McConnell with you, Elon!!

Good. Get him off this planet

Please move soon

monorail!

Good riddance.

Seeing how he treats his workers here on Earth I wish him and anyone who goes with him the best of luck, there's no way I'd entrust my safety to Space Karen.

Alternate Headline: Rich Assholes Attempt to Escape while World Burns, Leave Poor People in Dust

Can he get it done yesterday? Good riddance!

Please do it soon and never come back or communicate with anyone on earth again. Take your fucking weird nerds and red pillars with you.

This is ridiculous and musk should be charged with war crimes for Bolivia. And this paper should be investigated for all the ties that led to this commercial advert to be published for frogface musk.

Thank goodness and good riddance

Good. Stay there.

Obsessed with “TOTAL RECALL”

Good. The sooner the better.

👋

Sick go for it

Cool.

Is he bringing his new baby XXL 911 F451?

Sturgeons_Law No he isn't

It will be one nut less on earth

Yeah red and dirt Oklahoma because Tulsa will be the new factory!

LilyTwinkle3 K bye

this dude loves to ply journos w pointless blurbs about himself...and they run with em to make pointless articles lile this

Please Elon! Go now and can I give you a list of people to take with you ?

This is stupid

How much weed has he been smokin?

See ya.

joke of the year elonmusk

Bye

Yes thinking out of this world!

Buh-bye 👋

Good.

Quick reminder to everyone jumping on the train to join him you’ll only be going as his servant

Great! He can take all the other useless billionaires with him. What a weirdo.

You know what... I concur ...

Can we just send elonmusk there with the first ship? I'll start a GoFundMe.

This was kind of obvious.

bye bjtch

Somebody read The Warchmen while tripping and thought the Doctor Manhattan character was based on him.

Well if you want to leave when things get tough,we don't want you or anything you bring to the table.Not your advice,arms,or disloyalty

elonmusk doesnt build things though... his workers do. How many workplace injuries would be sustained on this jobsite

Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. Good riddance!

Gurl bye

Bye Felicia!

How soon before he moves?

Space Taxi was great. This idea, not so much.

Let's launch him there right now.

Spending your vast fortune to compensate your workers well and give them hazard pay: No. Spending your vast fortune to go on the most vain vacation imaginable: Yes.

Decades from now... “Everything was peaceful, until the Elon Mars Nation attacked...”

Good riddance!

Sturgeons_Law He should go on ahead and we'll catch up.

can’t wait jfc hope there’s no internet there

BYE

Don’t let the door hit you on your way out to Mars, Buh-Bye

Good

Take Trump with you. PLEASE!!!!

how does he plan to take some mexicans there to work?

God Bless that guy

Thank God!! See ya!!

I wish people could do math and understand science.

And take Trump and Maga supporters

Hes got more money than brains

That used to be the aim of NASA, and millions of people still look for the time we are back in the space race.

Good reddens.

Thank God!

When a lot of money makes a person go crazy.

Bye

C-ya!

I might want to join him

Good riddance!

Musk needs to lay off the weed a little

Need of the hour !!!

Good. Gtfoh

Maybe it's a good idea. Since some people believe humans cause global warming on Earth, perhaps humans will cause climate change on Mars...

Good leave planet earth we’re sick of you

Good.

🎶We built this city🎶

Soon?

Please go now!

bye

He wants a place where he is considered God.

I can't wait until he goes back his home planet

Good riddance!

Bye.

How unpopular is he planning to be on Earth, exactly...

This is why the word fantastic was invented.

thank god. An Elonless earth is a good earth

Yes please, the sooner the better.

👋

Good. It seems like a good solution for everyone involved.

Can he just go now?

Do it today please.

Then build houses and sell them

The sooner the better

...better leave now, lol

I want to go to Mars and poop there

Good. Tell him to take 45 and his red-pill peeps with him ✌🏼. ByeFelicia 👋🏼👋🏼 elonmusk

Bye

Good riddance?

Can’t wait for him to go! Bye!

Does he realize that they won't let him smoke weed in the domed city?

he won't live there, because he won't have anyone to bully and he will be supremely unimportant

See ya!!!

Can he leave today!

good, go away

Bye, bye Mr. Musk pie 🥧

He can be the first on the flight please.

He probably should go right now and look around.

Things that will never happen.

i hope that you continue to print 'dipshit says he'll do Thing; fails' every time it's appropriate

It's possible....is about terraforming mars.👍🏼go to the moon used to be crazy and talk by video too...😮

We built this city in Rockin n Roll!!!’

BreakingNews. ElonMusk is planning to build a city on the red planet. He chooses Only three 'friendly' people to go with him; DonaldTrump, BarakObama and HillaryClinton 😎

As long as he pays for it. The American Tax Payer is not paying for his pipe dreams.

Ciao!

Mars needs Elon

Is there a gofundme to help?

I'd join elonmusk

Good riddance

Is he invoking martian law?

Bye Felicia.

Hopefully he will move his Corporate headquarters there too. Matter of have trump tower built there too.

Good for him! We do not need him on this planet!

Bloody go and stay there !

Good riddance.

How about a fully environmentally friendly climatized glass dome city here on earth?

Interesting.

Later !

BYE!

If any person follows him to mars the are insane 😜 let's see there's solar radiation them there's deep space radiation when you get there you can freeze to death solar flares so many thinks that can kill you please people believe God when he says the Heavens are his pslam115:16

Send tRump!!!

This will be fun!

I think Elon should take the first taxi to mars.

Seriously ? How can a brilliant mind like his be so foolish at the same time he's seen to many science fiction movie's and shows space is no t like star wars star trek andromeda or babylon 5

Can’t wait.

Elon, please cut it out...plan on finding solution to COVID-19 first.

That's a good place for him n

Leave as soon as possible. Build a really, really big ship. Load as many republicans as will fit. Good bye

go to it bud...….

Bye

Home always calls

Don’t let the atmosphere hit ya on the way out

This is old news. He has been talking about this since 2016 maybe before. If people would read about what is happening instead of wait for their favorite news channel to tell them now its time to tink about it. Idk why I am upset about this lol

Great, I’ll help him pack. Buh-bye

Delusional and kinda crazy

awesome vsionary elon musk has taken the world by storm exciting science, preparing manking for the future, advancing our specie 🌎⭐️ 👍 to me, musk is already one of the greatest minds of the XXI century, deserves a nobel prize. 🎖(my personal opinion)

Can he go ASAP?

Bye bitch

His being a fruit cake is wearing thin on America. I honestly don't care in the least what this oddball thinks, says or does anymore. Being eccentric and doing bizarre things can only carry you so far with people.

Good. ✌🏼

When is he leaving?

See ya!

The sooner, the better👍

Is he gonna build that city on rock and roll?

He hates planet earth, and is as creepy as they come.

Let him go.

Good take all the trumps with you

If he does a Gofundme for this it would raise billions

HEY TAKE POTUS WITH YOU!😂👏🏿👍🏿🤦🏿‍♂️

Maybe he’ll take the trump family with him

K, bye.

Bye, Bye

Selfish hole

He will more than likely be the last

He must be drinking the stuff that goes in his batteries🤪

elonmusk I will join you!

It is so nice that Elon will finally get to live on his home planet.

Can he do it soon?

Bye.

Just making sure: Is it a one-way trip?🤞

good because i’m sick of his ego and bullshit

Bye

Who cares?

Take me with you please

This guy is out of his skull.

We’ll help him pack.

I knew Elon Musk was the inspiration for the villain in that COD Infinite Warfare Game!

Good. Please take Trump/Pence with you. Do your country of birth a big favor.

Good! Bye!

A real life Tony Stark. 👍🏻

Musk Is Dr Manhattan finally revealed himself

Bye Felicia

Good riddance to him!

Heard Ivanka is going too.

Prefer a space Uber.

The man is nuts. 🙄

take the magats with him

Mars: 'Go back to Earth you crazy pothead.'

JforDemocracy Fine. I’ll help him pack—and drive the space truck

We cant even deal with the virus on earth crisis let alone life on Mars.

Peace out.

I guess he really likes to be Elon

Cuckoo.

karensgonewild

If Elon believes he will build a city on Mars and live there in his lifetime, I suspect he is currently living in a house made of Panama Red and is trying to see if he can smoke it right down to the foundations. ReeferMadness

Hope he takes Trump with him!

Hope the door doesn’t hit him in the ass on the way out.

It would begreat if we could send his ass to mars. Even better if he sends himself so we don't have to pay for it. Bye now!

Wont Russia work?

Mars is not worth the journey. A lunar Westfield and Hilton would be cool.

Finally! I'll help him pack.

Good for him. Buh bye.

Let him go wherever he whant‘s... but to another planet

Well...color me disinterested

Good, byyyyeeeeeee

Don't worry. I'm sure once he finds a nice place and gets settled in he'll send for us.

I think he already lives there...

no one wants to live onfcking mars gtfo

He can afford it

Please do take realDonaldTrump along with you elonmusk. Planet Earth would be better for it.

That is a very good idea. Musk Mars

I played that video game too.

Good. Hope they are boarding soon.

he wont make it long

I for one would encourage that.

Why is that ? Is the shit of the world out?

Perfect. When will he move?

Didn't he just have a kid? One thing at a time, Elon. Haha

Money and power could make you hallucinate beyond imagination ..

Good.

Okay Elon. LOL.

Dreams do come true after all.

Shorter fingernails?
