Some say it was his son going trans which made him flip.Comment

I dislike Musk but can only marvel at the technical engineering feats with SpaceX. I have a cousin who works as an engineer on the Starship at SpaceX and it sounds amazing.
On the other hand, I think trying to establish a colony on Mars seems a folly at this point in human evolution.
Musk himself said he is only building the transport, someone else has to build a colony which he estimated could cost between $1-10 trillion.Comment

Will it work out cheaper to send asylum seekers to Mars rather than Rwanda?
At the very least, I'd hope there was no British involvement in building any Mars infrastructure as we can't even build an airport runway or a train line on earth. Might have to send some Bulgarian builders and Polish plumbers first.Comment
