The Future of Mars Colonization: Building a Self-Sustaining City #ElonMusk #MarsCity #Musk



In the video transcription, the speaker discusses the idea of creating a self-sustaining city on Mars, estimating that it would require about a million people and several million tons of cargo. They believe this could be achieved within 20 years, but emphasize the importance of having a complete base of industry in order for the city to be truly self-sustaining. The speaker suggests that once all necessary elements are in place, the future of consciousness is assured. They also mention the possibility of conducting 10 launches a day at 200 tons per launch to support this endeavor. Overall, the speaker is optimistic about the potential for establishing a thriving community on Mars.

  1. 200 tonnes a launch and you need 1.5 m tonnes for a base.
    The launch window for Mars is a couple weeks once a year.

    And he knows this.
    To launch 7,500 payload sized rockets within a few weeks of a window you'd need half the world working on it.
    This man is a con artist at this point just raking in endless investments with an unfeasible end goal, but he'll get rich and powerful in the mean time.

  2. What a wacky idea. Send people to die on Mars. I think I’ll pass. Life, at least complex life, hasn’t evolved on Mars because it’s not suitable for life. You need to bring and create oxygen, shield against radiation, bring and recycle water, grow enormous quantities of food… plus an endless list of other issues. None of these problems ever go away. You not only need solutions for these problems but you need layers of backup systems to ensure that people don’t die when inevitably something breaks. Even if he solved all of those problems with robust backup systems to resolve any potential for failure, the gravity on Mars isn’t strong enough to sustain our current form of life. Bones would become brittle… plus any number of deformities over time. We don’t even know if reproduction is possible under such conditions let alone the foetus successfully growing to term and having a normal healthy life under low gravity conditions. You can’t speed run science like this. It would be more moral doing medical experiments on a bunch of fit healthy people to advance medicine than to send large groups of people to their death like this. We are at minimum several generations away from being comfortable enough to send colonies to life on other planets. Even if we are capable of building big rockets to ship people there, there are so many more problems to solve that this is just a pipe dream from a cult leader who has fallen in to more money than he knows what to do with.

  3. Well he said in 2016 that the first manned mission to Mars would be ready in like 2022 or something. Now its 2024 and they still do tests with the star ship without cargo that fail most of the test objectives. Just like teslas full self driving is "just a year" away every year for 7 years now. Elon either has no idea of what is realistic in a certain time frame or he is purposefully lying and over promising to security funding and keep up stock price. And to be honest, considering his handling of twitter and his behavior on the platform, its very evident that he is not as smart as people made him out to be, quiet dumb actually on certain topics.

  4. We can’t build a self sustaining city on earth so we’ve got no chance of building one on Mars. And have you seen how big a self sustaining habitat for 8 people looks like? Starship ain’t big enough.
