I would say that Gates has already achieved more for mankind that Musk has so far and even if we do put humans on Mars will they provide any more information than the robots can? The bottom line is that unless there is some huge new development in transporting flesh, bone, nervous systems and brain functions across vast distances in space at currently unimaginable speeds outside our own solar system, sending people out there is pointless. 2

Has there been no technological advancements or improvements as a result of that mission? Is the same point because there very obviously was incredible technological advancement from this sort of mission and it's a clear and tangible benefit. Anyway even though you're being a bit prickly about it it seems we agree. Musk can be an ego maniac and an arseholes but he can also have an incredibly positive impact on humanity for the reasons outlined. 1

It makes no sense at all to think about colonising a dead planet (and why send humans when bots can do the job if you aren’t looking at colonisation) whilst actively killing our own.

I assume LBC told you what to think in between posts.... You really are quite dense Weston. My point is that we no longer need to send humans to other planets having done it on the moon and have the advanced technology to send robots to other planets instead of humans. This has nothing to do with LBC but has everything to do with reading something and engaging your brain. Something you seem incapable of. Nothing better to do in the Christmas holidays than to stalk and troll? Anyway, back to Musk. I knew little about him until the Thai cave rescue when he called one of the rescuers a “pedo guy.” It seems he is a campaigner for free speak so long as he can defame people himself. I see he recently told someone on X to “go f**k yourself in the face” because he criticised Musk whilst at the same time calling for the platform to be one of “light”. Strange man. 3

It’s a genuinely amusing trait. As for Musk’s chances of success, I’d say he has a more than 50/50 chance, given the huge advances Space X have already made in such a relatively short space of time. All depends when he dies, I suppose, but I consider it in no way outlandish whatsoever that boots will be on Mars in his lifetime. 1 1

Mark Collett - that’s his name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriotic_Alternative Interesting first link there. "There are women who don't want to go shopping because there are 20 men in long Islamic dress shouting anti-British stuff and calling for a jihad and stirring up religious and racial hatred. Those are our town centres, and we want them back," Robinson, then still hiding his identity, told the BBC in 2009. "We want them back, not from the Muslims, but from the jihadist extremists that are operating in the Muslim communities. And the Muslim communities need to deal with their extremists." "I'm not far-right…I'm just opposed to Islam. I believe it's backward and it's fascist," he said in 2016. So according to that he's claiming not to be far right but opposed to Islam and he opposes calls for Jihad and women feeling intimidated in public. " He also pushed the common conspiracy theory that British police were refusing to prosecute sexual assault of children by Asian men because they were afraid of being seen as racist" Is that a conspiracy theory? I'm pretty sure it's an accepted fact at this point that police failed to act when they should for fear of being labelled as racist. Like I said, doesn't seem like a nice bloke but those actual quotes from him don't sound extremist even if you disagree. 1 1
