ELON MUSK’S SPACE X HAS MARS TRAVEL ALL FIGURED OUT

A new video released by billionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX company gives viewers an idea of how the spaceflight company plans to get humans to Mars. According to the video, the company plans to use a huge rocket to launch Mars-bound spaceships filled with people to orbit Earth, before landing the booster back on Earth and prepping it to launch again with very little turnaround time. The second launch would deliver a refueling ship to orbit, where it would fuel the Mars-bound human-carrying craft. Once fueled, the crewed ship will depart on its way to Mars. Of course, once they get to Mars, uh … well, uh … they’ll figure that out later.

* Well, it looks safe enough in the company-produced video. I’m in.
* Seriously, here’s what they’ll do once they get to Mars: They’ll ride around in Elon Musk’s Tesla cars that start on fire – kind of like his SpaceX rockets that explode.
* I know what you’re thinking: “Details, details.”
* A city on the Moon would be easier and more useful, but on the Moon the rocks are just grey, and on Mars they’re red, so – Mars is more fun.
* Oh, well. Could be worse. He could be trying to resurrect dinosaurs using ancient DNA.
* Can we nominate people to be on the first rocket? Because, you know … Trump and Hillary.
* Yikes. Imagine if the refueling booster crashes after you’re already up there orbiting earth.
* It’s complicated but so was that Martian probe we sent that parachuted down and then bounced.
* Remember that one? The Mars Pathfinder? It was back in 1997 and we bounced the damn thing around 15 times on the surface of Mars using airbags.
* So I’m just saying, just because it sounds ridiculous, doesn’t mean it won’t work.
* Besides, I’d rather have billionaires doing stuff like this than building another mansion.
