Elon Musk Has a New Excuse for Not Making It to Mars
The billionaire says that if he doesn't successfully colonize Mars at some point in the next few years, you can blame Kamala Harris.
You're viewing a single thread.
The reason you're not ever living on Mars is that it has no magnetosphere. Good fucking luck surviving any length of time with constant ionising radiation slapping the shit out of your DNA. This fact alone should have shut down any discussion of feasibility about colonising Mars.
Although it does make the three-titted chick from Total Recall way more realistic.
Even without that issue (maybe they spend all their time in a cave?), we don't even know if a human fetus can develop healthily in a gravity lower than Earth's.
Very true. There's also the issue of giving birth. Women would have to be spun around like salad in a spinner in order to simulate Earth gravity but I imagine that's a perk for Elon.
I don't think that's an issue, water births are a thing and buoyancy results in much less gravity being felt than they would on Mars.
That's a really silly visual
There is a disgusting cartoon about this somewhere
Space X is just Ultor from Red Faction.
Chances are any colonies will be built underground or in lava tubes to shelter from radiation.
