I can see Musks Mars mission now, they’ll take at least a dozen Cyber trucks to get around on the surface, these will break down within a month and no one will have taken tools, because tesla service comes to you, they’ll also take 8 days to charge using solar. Couple of Boring company tunneling machines to build the underground city but no way to get them from the space ship to the lander and then to the ground, the hydroponics lab will only be geared up to grow weed and they’ll forget to take water, or any way of extracting it. So they’ll all be drinking prime by the bucket load and the toilets will require a subscription.

It’s the moon they should be concentrating on. It’s closer, we’re perfectly capable of getting there, there are already tunnels on the moon that can be accessed through holes from the surface that could be easily closed off with airlocks, there’s water on the moon, there’s the ability to create a breathable atmosphere inside the tunnels, it’s relatively easy to build an electromagnetic launcher to send back valuable mined materials, the mining of which will continue to increase the size of the colony thus allowing more valuable materials to be sent back to Earth reducing the need to mine the planet for said materials.
There’s almost limitless amounts of solar energy on the moons surface, and solar panels could be manufactured using lunar materials, none of which will add to the loss of valuable materials on the home planet.
Easy peasy. Not really, but compared to doing anything on Mars, it’s a piece of piss.

Especially if space elevators were built, which would mean shuttles could maintain contact with the lunar colony without needing big, expensive launch vehicles from the surface. We apparently have the technology now to build one.

Easy peasy.

A very romantic way of looking at it.

If we start ****ing with the moon,  it will have massive affects on earth, tides, temps, etc.

How about we stop ****ing with nature rather than expanding our ****ery to the moon

I'm trying to think of some Uranus jokes that won't get me banned.

So it turns out that Nigel Farage isn't right-wing enough for Elon Musk.

He's throwing his weight (and possibly money) behind Yaxley-Lennon

Saw that. When Farage isn't enough of a cheb end to satiate your right wing political interference you really are declaring your hand.

Whilst this is possibly good news for the UK as no matter how much money you throw at Yaxley-Lennon he will remain unelectable; it does show what a massive turd Musk is now becoming. He was always a tosser but whilst he stayed in his lane the damage potential was limited to an extent. You just hope he falls out with Trump too. Then an X that is anti Farage and Trump will make the fight a little more even come the next round of elections.

Any Tesla drivers, Space X fan boys, or even Starlink customers care to comment? How are you keeping the bile down or have you just compartmentalised your brain about the whole situation?

I'm a Tesla driver, not because I'm a Musk fanboy, but because it's a great car and ticked more boxes than anything else I looked at when we bought it.

I'm seriously thinking about getting in touch with a sticker guy I know to do a run of bumper stickers for me, maybe in bulk so I can sell some on eBay to other like minded owners.

Something simple like "I like this car, not Elon."

Suggestions welcome!

There are a few online sellers who seem to be doing a roaring trade in 'We bought this before Elon went crazy' bumper stickers.

All the time Farage has spent kissing his arse and then this, the more I think about this the funnier it gets.

Has Farage told Musk he doesn't have what it takes to lead Twitter yet? 😆
