Trump Plans Mars Colony With Musk

We Never Know

This bromance is bad for the country.
Excerpted...
Donald Trump has vowed to reach Mars if he wins the presidential campaign.

The orange manbaby, 78, wants the US to reach the Red Planet “by the end of my term”. He also wants there to be “great military protection in space”.

The Republican presidential candidate said he will “talk” to SpaceX boss Elon Musk about getting the mission going. He told supporters in North Carolina: “We want to reach Mars by the end of my term.
NASA has been taking about it for several years.
Even built a simulated Mars habitat that people lived in for a year. Last I heard their plan is to have people visit Mars by 2030.

Volunteer Crew to Exit NASA’s Simulated Mars Habitat After 378 Days​


"The four volunteers who have been living and working inside NASA’s first simulated yearlong Mars habitat mission are set to exit their ground-based home on Saturday, July 6. NASA will provide live coverage of the crew’s exit from the habitat at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston at 5 p.m. EDT...

The first Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA) mission began in the 3D printed habitat on June 25, 2023, with crew members Kelly Haston, Anca Selariu, Ross Brockwell, and Nathan Jones. For more than a year, the crew simulated Mars mission operations, including “Marswalks,” grew and harvested several vegetables to supplement their shelf-stable food, maintained their equipment and habitat, and operated under additional stressors a Mars crew will experience, including communication delays with Earth, resource limitations, and isolation."

Makes sense. It's the red planet after all.

This isn't striving for greatness. There is no way we could overcome the obstacles to a manned Mars mission in 5 years. Not a chance.
I don't think that's the objective. I think it's more probable that this is just an experiment to see just how much and what level of bull**** the American public is willing to swallow.

Either that or one of his staff attended Comic-con and came back with a report about the huge untapped potential voter base among Star wars fans.

I've heard there are large deposits of Turbinium on Mars, but knowing Trump and Musk, they'll probably use cheap domes and turn everyone into mutants.

hey folks. He didn’t say the colony would be built during his term.
No, he said he would send a man there, actually it was something he promised a long time ago.
We will also note that there is no reason to even attempt it until we are much farther along in developing a place for a colony as anyone at NASA or involved in space exploration will tell you.

President Donald Trump made a bold promise in April: He would send a human to Mars during his first term — “or, at worst, during my second term.”

Where is all your swiping at NASA?

" to supplement their shelf-stable food,"
Yup, we are not even close to being able to have a self-sustaining closed environment on earth let alone proposing setting one up on Mars.
This is just propaganda for the rubes.

I'm not swiping at NASA, I know they have been talking about it for years, but they are rational about what it will take which DJT's pronouncements are not. .

This is just another "Look a Squirrel" from Trump.

Watch & see.
When actually addressing all the as yet unknown technological,
biological, & psychological challenges, the price will double,
triple, quad....you get the picture. Mars isn't the short cakewalk
that Moon missions were & are.
Sure, things will be learned along the way, & on Mars. But really
it's about the drama of dreaming the Star Trek dream in a small
way. That smacks more of entertainment & inspiration than
science. Would the huge amount of money required yield more
benefit with new telescopes & probes? Ya, you betcha!
These are things that probe the very beginning, ends, & nature
of our universe, eg, Hubble, Chandra, Voyager, Casinni.

As I said here years back...

We can't/don't even populate the harshest places here on earth, which are nothing compared to Mars. So in my opinion its mostly been just a waste of time and money but people have to produce some results if they want to keep getting funding.

Are you against pace exploration and development generally, or just when it involves Trump and Musk?
In this case it's the reality they're both idiots because getting people on Mars by 2030 isn't going to happen. It's generally accepted by people who actually do this stuff (and don't play pretend and ride the coattails of better minds) the necessary first step is a Lunar Base. That likely won't happen by 2030 either.

Musk told Trump that Mars is orange.
And that the face there is Trump's.
