Please Elon, be on the first trip.
And the Tesla will self drive very soon. Like in 2018!
Yeah but if you went to the moon and built a base there it’d make it a thousand times easier. The gravity is so low on the moon you could basically launch spacecraft for free by just using a fancy space catapult. That’d make it so you can save all the fuel for the actual trip instead of using 70% of it just to get off the planet. It’s not fucking rocket science… Oh wait it is.
That’s only practical if you can make fuel on the moon. Which requires establishing a factory on the moon. That may be cost effective in the long term, but there is a high chance we only go to Mars two or three times in the next 50 years.
