Utopia Talk / Politics / Elon tantrum, mars only if Trump wins

Jesse Malcolm Barack Member	Mon Sep 23 03:40:05 http://www.indy100.com/news/elon-musk-kamala-harris-mars Elon Musk will take 'anyone' to Mars - but only if Kamala Harris doesn't win the election Elon Musk says he will take “anyone” to Mars – but only if Kamala Harris doesn’t win the presidential election. Throughout the presidential race, the SpaceX founder has made clear where his political affiliations lie, hosting Donald Trump in a chaotic interview on X/Twitter and posing the question of why no one had tried to assassinate President Joe Biden and Vice-President Harris, which made the Secret Service take note. Now, Musk has tried to win favour by telling his supporters he will take anyone to Mars if Harris does not win. In a lengthy post on his platform X/Twitter, Musk claimed that in the space of two years, he would send five spaceships to Mars. “We want to enable anyone who wants to be a space traveler to go to Mars! That means you or your family or friends – anyone who dreams of great adventure,” Musk wrote. He continued: “Eventually, there will be thousands of Starships going to Mars and it will [be] a glorious sight to see! Can you imagine? Wow.” Musk claimed the Democratic party “would destroy the Mars program and doom humanity” and suggested a “Kamala regime” would add more red tape to his plans. “It cannot happen. Your help would be much appreciated. This is a fork, maybe the fork, in the road of human destiny,” Musk claimed. Earlier this month, the Trump ally also suggested, “We will never reach Mars if Kamala wins”. The ratcheting up of anti-Democratic rhetoric comes as early in-person voting in the US presidential election is underway in Virginia, six weeks ahead of election day on November 5.

murder Member	Mon Sep 23 07:55:48 Can man says what? "We'll never get to Mars!" says guy who 22 years after founding SpaceX, and 55 years after NASA landed a man on the Moon, is still stuck in low Earth orbit.

Sam Adams Member	Mon Sep 23 11:09:15 Except spacex has produced the worlds first reusable rockets and is now something like 13-0 in manned spaceflight, a good record as far as spaceflight is concerned. Theres a decent chance he can pull off the first mars landing. Its concerning how butthurt wokists are about the possibility though... might actively try to sabotage it.
murder Member	Mon Sep 23 12:07:12 "Except spacex has produced the worlds first reusable rockets ..." All those reusable rockets and nowhere to go apparently. Mostly just litters low earth orbit with satellites.
Rugian Member	Mon Sep 23 12:52:00 "Its concerning how butthurt wokists are about the possibility though... might actively try to sabotage it." I know now how murder is eventually going to eat it...by blowing up SpaceX's first mission to Mars. http://m.y...p=ygUSY29udGFjdCBib21iIHNjZW5l

Shit i just switched my status away from united too.
Forwyn Member	Mon Sep 23 13:29:44 "says guy who 22 years after founding SpaceX, and 55 years after NASA landed a man on the Moon, is still stuck in low Earth orbit." Meanwhile the government revokes Starlink's grant because they don't believe it can meet rural quotas, spends billions to connect zero homes, then cries about Starlink's monopoly. lul
murder Member	Mon Sep 23 13:41:59 "When you are posting on UP from 35,000 feet or your yacht in the middle of the south pacific you can thank elon." Thank goodness! I was afraid those people were being underserved. It's well worth the > 34,000 satellites in orbit he intends to pump low earth orbit full of. Maybe he meant low Mars orbit.
Rugian Member	Mon Sep 23 13:46:34 Oh thats right, Murder is too poor to afford a plane ticket. Rofl
Forwyn Member	Mon Sep 23 13:50:01 Ah yes, the underserved have a reason to give a shit about low-earth orbit "litter". Maybe they should give billions more to DNC slush fund bureaucratic waste and theft under the guise of giving them internet.
murder Member	Mon Sep 23 13:57:16 "Oh thats right, Murder is too poor to afford a plane ticket. Rofl" Where the fuck would I be flying to? I already live in South Florida.
jergul large member	Mon Sep 23 19:11:36 Sammy Russia crushed SpaceX re manned flights. Just take 2016+. I got tired of counting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soyuz_missions
jergul large member	Mon Sep 23 19:12:26 Russia has put 16 people in space this year.
jergul large member	Mon Sep 23 19:13:43 In conclusion, the theory that Nasa sucks, therefore Musk is great has a counterpoint.
Rugian Member	Mon Sep 23 20:19:44 jergul Want to compare spaceflights since November 2020 (when Dragon 2 started operational flights)? Dragon 2: 13 Soyuz MS: 9
jergul large member	Mon Sep 23 20:38:35 Not the metric Sammy was running with.
Forwyn Member	Tue Sep 24 09:16:17 The metric is to start four years before SpaceX ever performed its first crewed launch into orbit?
jergul large member	Tue Sep 24 09:24:08 Forwyn Look at 2016+ table, then start counting how many people the Russian State has put into space since 2020. I was directing your attention to the correct table. Geeze.
