I've read somewhere that cosmic radiation is a real health hazard to spacecraft crew.  How does Elon Musk propose to solve that problem? 

[Razgovory]

By not offering insurance.

I perspose a whip-round to buy Timmy a dictionary.

It's the fault of the autocorrect on my phone.

You want me to believe that your phone autocorrected proposal to perposal?

You want me to believe that your phone autocorrected proposal to perposal? 

I type fast and on a phone it makes my spelling even worse and I don't really pay attention to the corrections.

Is there anything that can be economically exploited on Mars?

80,000 colonists?

I mean, if they go there in the first place.

I also wonder: why not the moon first?  It is a lot closer.

Let's say .0001% of people disagree and want to do it.  That's almost 10,000 people.

From a pool of people with $500,000.

so that's about 8000 Chinese :p

Instead, lets hold a whip round to send timmy to mars. also martinus.

Dictionary is a pretty poor substitute for a trip to Mars.

Mars has ice and more regular day and night.

I would argue with Tesla he has yet to demonstrate the ability to produce a cost-competitive electric car with reasonable performance.

I don't get the reasonable performance part. Electric motors are nice because they can apply instant torque. They should accelerate and perform better provided they have equivalent horse power.

The thing about Tesla's thingie is not that they are doing anything specifically different, but that they are setting themselves up to be the battery manufacturer for everyone. They did all the work to get all the permits and are planning incredible capacity out there in Fallon. They have contracts already from most of the traditional car manufacturers to make batteries for them.

Especially in the core.

Well then why not Antarctica? It is way more hospitable, has considerably more ice, and is much easier to transport things both to and from.

[Eddie Teach]

It lacks the Mystique.

You can't ship nuclear waste below 60 degrees south.
