This.

If we could incoorperate a shark somehow it would be the perfect internet.

Wouldn't we just use some form of quantum internet. If not, We could super-cool cas coins into BEC's scan them with lasers and beam the info to mars, shoot it at some more supercooled mass and teleport the coins of course.

If the frozen water on Mars was melted it would cover over a third of the world with an ocean. There is a lot of water there.

Found something intellegent--AGAIN--to add to the conversation.

Plastic found on Mars! 

old credit cards?

Oh yea! Oh Yea! Well, I got news for you... (brb, for I need to Google up some news) 

Whenever Phinn contributes to a thread it suddenly becomes a conversation stopper anyone else notice that ? LOL

I mentioned above about printing food to eat on Mars. Well, check this out: http://www.seattlepi.com/business/boeing/article/WSU-prints-shapes-from-moon-rock-4074709.php

At least there will be food to eat.

It very much depend on the size of tropical islands.  Indeed lots of them are too small to provide fresh water for any human.   But I think (though I'm not sure), that where Colomb first landed, there was water, coconuts, vahine and everything.


There's lots of water in sahara also, if you don't mind digging deep enough.   For some reason it doesn't help making the place less hostile, though.   I wonder why it should be different on mars.

Mars has water. Not a lot, but it may be enough. And if you use some solar panels to pump electricity through that H2O, you'll have some H fuel and O to breathe. But yes, it's not as nice as landing on a tropical island. However, tropical islands don't have drinkable water (unless you manage to find a spring), and don't really have food, unless you feel like chewing on vines and bark. So, although it looked prettier, back then it was rather inhospitable as well.

Delusional? I think you, I and Elon realize that Marstizens won't be happy if their lives consisted of only all work and no play. Now what could be a perfect fit to compliment the current Martian landscape?

I got it!



Below, you're possibly looking at the first Marsfiaoso.

« That was true of the English colonies [in the Americas]; it took a significant expense to get things started. But once there are regular Mars flights, you can get the cost down to half a million dollars for someone to move to Mars. Then I think there are enough people who would buy that to have it be a reasonable business case. »

If Elon Musk seriously considers that people should pay taxes in order to finance the dream of a few SF-fans to settle on a giant rock millions of miles away from any drop of liquid water or liter of breathable air, then I'm afraid that to me he is not sympathetic anymore.  At all.

Comparing Mars to America is just ludicrous.   America was not a desert.  There was air to breathe, water to drink and so on.  Hell, there were even some good-looking, bare breasted native women welcoming sailors with flowers and often offering their body on the beach.  And I'm not even joking.

I mean come on, the first land where Colomb arrived in America was the Bahamas:




And as a comparaison, this is where Elon Musk dreams of settling down:



Those people are completely delusional.

Does Elon Musk love large, arid deserts and wastelands??  We have some of those on Earth, no need to go to Mars:

Antarctica:


Sahara:


Pacific ocean (well ok that's not technically a desert but it's just as if.  Go try to live there all your lifetime if you don't believe me):



I'm pretty sure those places are paradizes when compared to Mars.

I agree. Some sort of spy...

I'm not sure how far six million dollars would help SpaceX now, but assuming it would, their marketing director could consider pre-selling 1,000 seats now for the discounted price of only BTC500 (approximately $6,000 USD) each, with the following stipulations:

• All pre-sales are non-refundable and can not be transferred to another party.
• Base on the exchange rate reaching $1,000 USD:BTC1 at least once, regardless of the exchange rate prior to launch(es).
• A seat will be reserved in only your name or one of your children (even if not yet born).
• Must be able to pass the required physical prior to your flight.

I'm sure a few other caveats can be added to the list, but you get the gist.

Here's the best part for SpaceX. They can opt to sit on the coins and wait till the exchange rate doubles, thus having $12M USD to further fund their endeavor. The way they can help accelerate said doubling is by announcing their intentions, thus bringing more awareness to Bitcoin.

Worse case scenario for all those who purchase tickets would be that they would have bragging rights for a long time, along with receiving possibly some perks from SpaceX. I'm pretty sure there's at least 1,000 people in the world that would love those bragging rights, coupled with having a slim chance of actually being able to journey to Mars at the greatly discounted price.

At least I agree with this:
