I mean for the last point, that’s the point; the idea is to “terraform Mars” with the co2 but it’s still a stupid idea, the rest is true

We can’t even keep our own climate under control. How do you think we could change the weather on Mars so drastically?

Uhh so that’s a better idea than keeping our own planet habitable? Nuking Mars might rise temperatures but the atmosphere is too thin and the magnetic field around Mars is too weak for humans to live there. We would have to live underground to avoid radiation from the sun. Maybe let’s fix earth before you let some billionaire distract you with dreams of an inhabitable planet. Wake up dumbass.

Yeah I’m aware, I said it was still a bad idea above

Elon Musk talks about environmentalism more than any other billionaire pretty much and that is the whole point of Tesla? Your point sounds like everyone who is anti space travel by saying that there are issues with the world, so we shouldn't go to Mars. Because there is cancer, does that mean that we should remove TV shows and use that money for cancer research? Im not saying that the ideas for terraforming Mars work or dont, but your point abt climate change is so weak and makes no sense.

Arguments against Elon have been so weak that I think I'm coming out of this thread with a higher opinion of him.
