So assisted suicide here is not allowed, but Elon Musk has found away around this insurmountable problem by sending suicide squads to mars!!!
What a complete and total crock of shit. There are so many issues with his tissue paper plan that I wouldn't trust it to hold a bit of snot, let alone take anyone to mars successfully.
Every time I see BS about moon or Mars colonization, I have to wonder, why. I get the exploration and scientific advancement part. But other than that, why? What do we gain? Epeen? Our earth is dying or going to die* someday, millions of years from now.... so lets travel to a planet that is inhospitable, that cannot hold an atmosphere, that has little water, that requires so many resources from earth to even get started and will never be viable at self sustaining a colony..... for reasons. Hey we can create a nightmare of people dying on Mars, when the problems arise and there is no help, no safe haven of community or another part of Mars that offers resources we will get to see the animals that humans are as they turn on each other and are driven crazy by the reality of the situation.
* In a few years, like millions or a billion, the sun will die and so will the earth and Mars..... so going to Mars makes no sense.
Musk trades in carbon credits and has found a way to make money on them, by milking government funds for renewable.... um... energy transfer.
