Some planetary-scale gaslighting in this amateur puff-piece from the NYTimes on "Elon Musk’s Plan to Colonize Mars" -
- 1 million inhabitants in 20 years
- Cities, factories, farms
- Starship with 100 passengers on 9-month trip, with running track and movie theater (do the math)
- Thermonuclear explosions to warm the planet by creating artificial suns (what's he smoking?)
- Solar panels by Tesla
- The final piece of the puzzle - sperm by Musk!
Mission accomplished!
