“@MarioNawfal This is so crazy! I was literally at Mar-a-Lago with @Caitlyn_Jenner last week.”

“@MarioNawfal Tunnels will be important on Mars”

“Occupy Mars!”

“This is just a very basic first step. Earth and Mars will ultimately need >petabit/sec connectivity.”

“@iam_smx Iron Man dies to defeat Thanos in Avengers: End Game. I just need to stay alive long enough to see my kids grow up and humanity on Mars.”

“Vote for @realDonaldTrump if you want humanity to make it to Mars!”

“@ajtourville @Tesla It was an interesting conversation. Combustion rockets are the best way to get to Mars in the short to medium term. There is perhaps some merit to a fission rocket shuttling between low Earth orbit and low Mars orbit, but chemical rockets are well-suited to getting to orbit,…”

“True. I think @realDonaldTrump winning makes a big difference in humanity getting to Mars and making life multiplanetary. This might one day save life as we know it.”

“@KTmBoyle I would have preferred to stick to cars & Mars, but it was necessary to safeguard civilization”

“Many Starships will go to Mars in 2 years, when the transit window opens again. The first wave will be without people and the second wave, 26 months later, with people, provided the first wave does not increment the crater count on Mars.”

“One day, Mars will save Earth. I am certain of it.”

“This is a major reason why @realDonaldTrump must win. Unless something is done about strangulation by overregulation, humanity will never reach Mars.”

“Voting for Trump is voting for Mars! Unless we stop the slow strangulation by overregulation happening in America, we will never become a multiplanetary civilization.”

“@george_sowers Orbital refilling is essential to get serious tonnage to Mars and Moon”

“Since your handle is “Whole Mars”, perhaps this lengthy reply is apropos: Getting the cost per ton to the surface of Mars low enough that humanity has the resources to make life multiplanetary requires a roughly 1000X improvement in rocket & spacecraft technology. Recent US…”

“@amuse If Trump is not elected, the slow strangulation by overregulation will stop humanity from reaching Mars”

“@rookisaacman If civilization is reasonably stable for the next ~30 years, a self-sustaining city of a million+ people will be built on Mars”

“Unless Trump wins and we get rid of the mountain of smothering regulations (that have nothing to do with safety!), humanity will never reach Mars. This is existential.”

“@BasedBeffJezos The Mars Technocracy”

“Hop in, we’re going to Mars! 💫”

“SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years. If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years. If we encounter challenges, then the crewed missions will be postponed another two years. It is only possible to travel from…”

“@ThierryBreton In all seriousness, SpaceX hopes to offer travel to Mars to anyone who wants to go, bearing in mind that it will be like a long sea voyage in centuries past – dangerous and uncomfortable, but great adventure! Becoming multiplanetary ensures the long-term survival of life.”

“We will never get humanity to Mars if this continues”

“@paulg Attempting to land giant spaceships on Mars will happen in that timeframe, but humans are only going after the landings are proven to be reliable. 4 years is best case for humans, might be 6, hopefully not 8.”

“The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens. These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years. Flight rate will…”

“SpaceX created the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable. Making life multiplanetary is fundamentally a cost per ton to Mars problem. It currently costs about a billion dollars per ton of useful payload to the surface…”

“@lexfridman Have you read Asimov’s Foundation books? They pose an interesting question: if you knew a dark age was coming, what actions would you take to preserve knowledge and minimize the length of the dark age? For humanity, a city on Mars. Terminus.”

“@teslaownersSV Mars!”

“@rookisaacman Soon to the Moon and then Mars!”

“@MarioNawfal If I win, he resigns as dictator of Venezuela. If he wins, I give him a free ride to Mars.”

“And now it is time for America to reach far greater heights by sending astronauts to Mars! Ultimately, anyone who wants to be a space traveler and help build a new civilization on Mars should be able to do so. That is an inspiring future!”

“@RichardHanania Best to hear it in the words I have used in many interviews over the years. I have not fwiw “volunteered my sperm” 😂 No one at SpaceX has been directed to work on a Mars city. When people have asked to do so, I’ve said we need to focus on getting there first.”

“@SpaceActivist88 @JeffGreason @peterrhague @SpaceNotJohn SpaceX will colonize Mars. The fundamental question is whether Earth civilization can maintain its technology level long enough for the colony to grow on its own, even if the supply ships stop coming. If yes, then humanity will pass the single-planet Fermi Great Filter.”

“@WR4NYGov Mars will be ruled by the Martians”

“@spacesudoer That was not the founding of SpaceX. We were in Russia to negotiate buying some ICBMs and converting them to launch a philanthropic mission to Mars. I later came to realize that the problem wasn’t the will to go to Mars – there is plenty of public interest – but rather that…”

“@DavidDeutschOxf To Mars and then the stars”

“@Rothmus Over time, SpaceX will enable anyone to go to space and travel to the moon and Mars”

“SpaceX might exceed 90% of all Earth payload to orbit later this year. Once Starship is launching at high rate, probably >99%. Has to be or we can’t build a city on Mars or base on moon. We file almost no patents, so nothing stopping competition from copying us.”

“SpaceX’s mission is to extend consciousness to Mars and then the stars”

“@unusual_whales Not me. I will live and die in America. (Some possibility of dying on Mars, hopefully not on impact)”

“@imPenny2x @SciGuySpace The critical Fermi “great filter” threshold is Mars being able to survive and grow if the resupply ships from Earth stop coming for any reason. At that point, we will be a true multiplanet civilization.”

“@NASA Starship has the potential to return serious tonnage from Mars within ~5 years”

“@EdKrassen Civilization needs to retain its current technology level until Mars is self-sufficient, which could be achieved within ~20 years. If we become multiplanetary and then multistellar our civilization will last millions of years. If not, maybe just a few hundred years.”

“Starlink helps fund humanity getting to Mars”

“@ID_AA_Carmack The right way to grade any technology is not comparing it to competitors (too easy), but comparing it to the limit of physics. That is, for example, how we grade Starlink latency, which shows that there is still a *lot* of room for improvement! Same for $/ton to Mars.”

“@johnkrausphotos Starship will be on Mars within 5 years”

“@ID_AA_Carmack Pretty much anything that you can do on the ground should be done on the ground. But for warming up Mars, reflectors made on Phobos & Deimos could be a good way to go.”

“@Kristennetten Yeah, every Starlink system helps fund Mars”

“Yesterday was one step closer to life on Mars”

“@RGVaerialphotos Imagine seeing this view on your way to Mars ✨”
