A Oneway Ticket To Mars

What would you do if you had a

Billion Dollars?

Or

11,361,750,000 Yen?

Or

6,721,710,000 Russian Rubles?

Exactly,

I would do the same thing.

I would start my own

Space Program,

calling my company

SpaceX.

Practice

Take Offs

and

Landings

a few hundred times with my spaceship,

then fly myself

and a some of my best friends to the

Planet Mars!

Actually,

I will only take the ones who will listen to me

and follow my every whim.

But what the hey!

We are all equal on

Mars,

as long as everyone does what I say.

Because if it wasn't for me,

none of them would be in the life threatening situation they find themselves in.

Living on

Mars.

My name?

Elon Musk says he will probably move to Mars

By Hamza Shaban for the Washington Post on Chicago Tribune.com

Despite a high likelihood of dying even before arriving and daily conditions hostile to human life, Elon Musk said in an interview Sunday that he'll probably move to Mars. The SpaceX chief executive said there's a "70 percent chance" he'll get to Mars within his lifetime, with plans to permanently resettle on the Red Planet. Musk said his desire to colonize Mars is driven by the same passion that fuels people to climb mountains - for the challenge. "We've recently made a number of breakthroughs that I am just really just fired up about," Musk said during an interview with "Axios on HBO." Musk's remarks are the latest in a series of bold announcements that have defined his career in recent years, from his aim to transform the auto industry with electric vehicles made by his company Tesla to the goal of colonizing Earth's neighboring planet. SpaceX aspires to send its first cargo mission to Mars in 2022, according to its website, with a manned mission targeted for 2024. Musk announced last week that the company has renamed its massive Mars vessel the Starship (it was previously dubbed the Big Falcon Rocket). The rocket boosters that will allow the vehicle to escape Earth's gravity are called the Super Heavy. NASA, too, has ambitions to send humans to Mars, though sometime in the 2030s. China is also expanding its space program with the goal of launching a Mars probe around 2020. Scientists are interested in going to Mars for a host of reasons, from learning more about the origins of life to better understanding the rise and collapse of potentially life-supporting environments. During the interview, Musk compared the proposition to colonize Mars to explorer Ernest Shackleton's expeditions to Antarctica. He said the price of a ticket to Mars would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, with no guarantee of return or even survival during the trip or upon landing. But despite the daunting journey, Musk sees a worthwhile trade-off. "You know there's lots of people who climb mountains. You know why do they climb mountains? People die on Mount Everest all the time," he said. "They like doing it for the challenge."

This is the same guy who had to step down as

Chairman Of The Board

of

Tesla Motor Company.

He had some bad managerial practices.

All I can hope is,

that when he takes his one way ticket to

Mars,

he leaves me the rest of his money in a will.

 

 This is,

Did You Watch The

InSight Lander

Land Today?

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“You need to live in a dome initially, but over time you could terra-form Mars to look like Earth and eventually walk around outside without anything on. So it's a fixer-upper of a planet.”
- Elon Musk -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
