I Tried To Warn You - Elon Musk LAST WARNING (2021)

Money talks and he has money?

It would take at least a century of terraforming Mars and that's if eveything works as intended. I'd say that the first order of business is to locate any residual water under the surface. Then send satellites to spread blue-green algae over the surface of Mars and let the algae convert the CO2 into oxygen. Also dump large amounts of Lithium Peroxide over the poles where there's a lot of frozen CO2. If we're lucky, we may get a breathable atmosphere in a century and resembling 10,000' altitude on Earth. While that's going on, robot mining machines can develop what few water sources there are and store it in tanks. Other missions will be to send supplies ahead and use robots to establish a receiving area. There will have to be an orbiting platform to relay messages and act as an escape pod in case things don't work out. That means an escape vehicle at the camp site must already be in place to take the explorers up to the orbiting station. Elon Musk's insanely stupid idea of taking however many astronauts AND their supplies in one shot just shows that he has more money than intelligence. Elon Musk is just one example of why we need a return to the Almighty 95% top tax rate! I remember when Reaganomics was being argued in 1980 and the claim that The Rich knew better how to allocate money than the government. Well, we've given Reaganomics 40 solid years and it has been a distaster and total loss of capital in all forms. Idiots with money should NOT BE PERMITTED.

@InfiniteMushroom: there is no way to terraform mars. not in a century nor in 10000 years. does not matter if water is there or not. please review the actual scientific limitations behind what you are claiming. the algae species you speak of would die rather quickly when released from the ship unprotected, doesn't matter if there is water, there is no way to actually keep the water in a liquid state even if it is there unless you put it in some type of shelter or underground in a sealed shelter with artificial light and heat which you have no energy for. The lithium peroxide is a novel concept that nasa did successfully demonstrate on a small scale, however, oxygen is just a small hurdle, it will not help with the fact that mars has almost no atmosphere and the planet is constantly losing mass into space, there is no magnetosphere so everything gets battered by radiation, and there is no atmospheric pressure so without a space suit any living thing containing liquid will perish because the pressure is so low the water will boil off (including your blood, algae, plants, etc). Detonating a nuke on mars would not even result in an explosion, an atmosphere is needed to have that effect, it literally would do almost nothing, even if you send the entire nuclear arsenal on earth there. Not to sound depressing or black pilled, but colonizing mars is a pipe dream, it is a dead planet. Earth is very special it has a molten core and a magnetosphere to block deadly radiation, mars does not. People don't realize how much of a miracle the earth is, the odds of everything lining up the way it did is extremely improbable. Please stop believing this sci-fi bs. elon and his stocks are gonna fall like a rock one day when the secular people stop seeking their own "secular miracle", it is all bs. It is important to see doctor Currier's article especially the part about biosphere 2. they couldn't even accomplish on earth what elon wants to do on mars. Sure we could try to establish an artificial abogenesis on mars but it would require us somehow having a full understanding of genetics and then seeing if it were even possible to genetically design a biological organism that could flourish on mars, but consider: Shouldn't life have occurred on its own on mars by now if it were possible? I mean I don't agree with it, but essentially, that is exactly what scientists think, that life just randomly materialized on earth by chance even though they cannot even replicate this theory in a lab despite the massive amount of knowledge we have gained. Average IQ's are falling around the world, unless there is a massive breakthrough in artificial intelligence and quantum computing to augment the failing human brain horsepower, the smartest members of the human race are already behind us. We are fast approaching the limits of what we will ever be able to discover in space because as we speak, the universe is expanding in size exponentially and every second that passes planets are getting exponentially further away. There is no technology that can overcome this, not even theoretical. We have used every method of observation including gravitational waves, I can elaborate more on this if you want. The only thing left is refinement of what we already can see. The space station is very much within reach of earth, and it is protected by the earth's magnetosphere, and yet even the astronauts that spend time here suffer severe health effects. The space station is about to be abandoned as well due to lack of funding and increasing upkeep costs. NASA cannot even keep the space station functional long term and there are people who think mars will be colonized, its total science fiction, even long into the future. The exploration of mars and space should be left to robots, humans are tied to the ecosystem of earth. The only way we will ever move payloads of any scale would require a orbital launch platform and it doesn't even seem practical to do that.

@TelepathicRapist: Thanks and yes, I read all of it. I still held out some slim hope that Mars could be terraformed to a bare minimum level to accept a long visit by astronauts. Apparently, not even the slightest potential exists for even that. As for the Space Station, considering the insane levels of investment (and sunk costs) made, both in financial and human capital, it would be the ultimate crime to just let it fall into Earth's atmosphere and burn up. I'd like to think that some kind of system of rockets and towing system could safely pull it out of orbit and place it in orbit around the Moon. Why? If we ever got back to the Moon, having that Station there would be hugely beneficial and enabled staging up of materials for future Moon operations. It would remove a lot of the risk of taking the minimum of what's needed and having no fallback provision if something failed. Even better, it could be a motel of sorts for mining companies to set up and enable regular trips to the Moon's surface for excavation and processing of lunar ore. ALL OF THIS presumes we have the kind of industrial and intellectual power that we once had in the 1960's and 1970's. So, again, it was a nice thought....

@InfiniteMushroom: I used to think like you and put my hope into space but remember even nasa said it is extraordinarily unlikely the human race will EVER explore anything beyond this immediate solar system, this is because the distances are just too vast. You can almost fit the every planet in the solar system in between the earth and moon for perspective. Space is where atheists seek their god of science and they build it up to be something it is not, they put their full faith in it and have told too many lies along the way. All of the planets in this solar system suck compared to earth. The rocket tech we use is 1960's russian tech. It's kinda funny what you are saying about towing the space station to the moon man, I'm sorry, it's not even remotely possible. People and space do not go together. It is cool and a proud accomplishment to have put people in space and land on the moon, but you have to let go of this notion of humans traveling in space, it's not realistic. The only practical solution is to use robots unless humans learn how to become cyborgs and even then space will slowly destroy you as a cyborg too. What moon operations do you mean? We dont have the capability really to economically bring back any valuable payload that would overcome the mission cost and it is unlikely that will change in the future either without a massive earth shattering scientific breakthrough.

First thanks for the compliment. Like you though, I don't really like the Guy. He is creepy? This is what having money does to people, the start to play God. even his car company is a lie in a way and it's bigged up by naming it after one of the greatest mind's that the system destroyed? Well the Banks and oil companies did anyway? i think he was partly right insaying we are all partly machines now? just look at the dick's with their face in a smartphone. they walk out in the road without looking, they drive whilst using the bloody things and cause many accident's. The one that really pisses me off about the smartphone is the Motorcyclist, or so called? they have this great big frame on the handlebars for their little Black mirror. I ridse a bike and don't even have a Smartphone. so I can have some freedom? I've learned to avoid ANYTHING that has the word SMART before it, because you know what that means is it is or wants to make you dumber? the only phone I have is a 20 year old DUMB phone that only goes with me on long journeys for emergency use.

Matter fact, one could say, Humanity's greatest threat is itself, potentially.

did you see that recent press briefing he did where he had a human actor dressed up in a robot outfit come out and do these autistic dance moves to represent the robot project he was starting on? It was so cringeworthy i had to turn it off. The fact he has to use a human actor shows we are nowhere near AI being a threat. What a hypocrite. Why would he claim to be so scared of AI and simultaneously claim to be creating a robot? Why would he be still using these strange marketing tactics making outrageous claims he can't back up? The story about this man is becoming a greater fraud day by day.
