Getting into Stefan Molyneux levels of breeder fetish egg fixations, too.
I'd love to go to Mars and live in a shitty bunker while my lungs get shredded by irradiated razor sharp dust

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The whole eggs/fertility thing is really based on a huge (and largely deliberate) misunderstanding of reproductive biology and how ovarian follicles work and die. You're essentially at peak fertility at 30, most of the eggs die off before age 5.
I had completely forgotten about Stefan Molyneux 
It's so funny that the logical conclusion of this guy's life is Starlink satellites inevitably causing Kessler syndrome and preventing humans space exploration.
Musk creating a Mars colony is the Star Citizen of space travel.
Elon make a post without being creepy about breeding challenge

Wow, in my lifetime the Mars Landings^TM^ have gone from being perpetually 20 years away, to perpetually 10 years away, to perpetually 4 years away. Truly impressive!
I wonder if we’ll be down to perpetually 2 years away in 10 years!
I want him to be confident enough that him and his six richest friends go early on
Moon is right there, and have same conditions (no magnetic field, no atmosphere, carcinogenic dust)
I bet Musk creates a weapons program before he lands on Mars. If he wants to be emperor of Mars he'll need a threat in order to prevent rebellion and the colony declaring independence from him the moment it gains any kind of self sufficiency.
Longest [REDACTED] comment ever. Just plug in your own thoughts on adventurism here.
The idea of leaving earth and living on some isolated colony in the middle of space lightyears away from where literally everyone in all of human history has lived and died is so fucking terrifying.
Like...we have astronauts stuck on the fucking ISS, no way in hell I am flying off to some entirely different astronomic body with the current state of space travel.

This is the worst future. I love space, I love space travel and I do truly believe expanding out to the stars is inevitable for humanity. But the governments of the world with space capable craft are either underfunded or too busy bailing out billionaire vanity projects.
I have zero confidence that this man or his circlejerk corporate stooges can get ANYTHING to land on Mars. Nor will he be able to get anyone there safely. He has no serious plan for this, he'll just throw his slave-labor money at a group of recent aerospace engineering graduates and tell them to figure it out, as long as it's under budget, of course.
lol, no one has been able to build a self-sustaining city on Earth, but I'm sure that's just all the pesky oxygen and water that is freely available getting in the way, right? Do you think he's even talked to the Biosphere people? Hell, do you think he's even watched Bio-Dome?
Elon's entire spiel seems to be haulage which is just a baby step. He proclaims he'll get stuff to Mars and Presto! there will be a city of millions of people. As far as I know - he hasn't said a single word about even the most basic nuts-and-bolts problems of trying to set up even a tiny compound on fucking different planet. Like the lack of air, the lower gravity, the lack of food, the dangerous radiation, and the list goes on.
Imagine Elon had a detailed 10,000 people Mars starter city plan that he made public to much fanfare. I'm sure within the hour regular people would have started to find huge flaws and city would be big trending joke on social media. By the end of the day scientists, technicians, and engineers would have cut his plan to shreds. Elon would have a public meltdown for a week and then pretend that he "owned" his haters.
and Presto! there will be a city of millions of people
We haven't even got orbital cities or moon cities and this clown wants mars cities. The West's only functional space station is said to be going to be decommissioned in the next few decades at some point too.

Try less than a decade. Decommissioning is currently set for 2031.

Oh lmao in my head I thought we were a long ways away

It's virtually guaranteed that even if one were to even get a viable amount of people to mars the first attempt at building a colony's doomed to some sort of "all hands lost" situation, isn't it?
making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to mars problem
speak american, cracker

If you give me just one billion dollars I will launch a launch a starship to Mars in under 12 months
