He was never going to go Mars. The first trips to Mars will be extremely dangerous - think the early Viking settlements of North America (they all died). There will of course be far more systematic prep for mars, but the the environment is also far far more hostile. These oligarchs like themselves too much to take risks like that with their lives, or work that hard under constant peril .

Idk remember the whole largely untested sub knocking off a billionaire. I think there’s potential that billionaires think themselves indestructible because wealth will shield them somehow. I’m more than ok if Elon flies his ass to mars, I’m truly hopping it doesn’t go well for him. I mean to say best wishes Elon.
