“Making life multiplanetary expands the scope & scale of consciousness. It also enables us to backup the biosphere, protecting all life as we know it from a calamity on Earth. Humanity is life’s steward, as no other species can transport life to Mars. We can’t let them down.”

“@jack 2029 feels like a pivotal year. I’d be surprised if we don’t have AGI by then. Hopefully, people on Mars too.”
“@Astro_Angry Unless it is stopped, the woke mind virus will destroy civilization and humanity will never reached Mars”
“Starship to Mars simulation https://t.co/fkpYvv5pMR https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Oox2w5sMcA&”
“@SirineAti Starship is in a different league. Orders of magnitude more mass to orbit than Falcon. Necessary for creating a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
“Lie back and think of Mars”
“@PPathole @SpaceX We need serious tonnage to Mars”
“If there aren’t enough people for Earth, then there definitely won’t be enough for Mars ☹️”
“Will also be important for Mars”
“Mars & Cars”
“Wow, only three weeks to 2022! What will 2032 will be like? Seems so futuristic! Will we be on Mars?”
“@muratpak My car is currently orbiting Mars”
“Starships to ♥️ Mars ♥️”
“@Tesmanian_com The magnitude of the Starship program is not widely appreciated. It is designed to extend life to Mars (and the moon), which requires ~1000 times more payload to orbit than all current Earth rockets combined.”
“@PPathole @Teslarati @13ericralph31 If we are able to make life self-sustaining on Mars, we will have passed one of the greatest filters. That then sets us up to become interstellar. Earth is ~4.5B years old, but life is still not multiplanetary and it is extremely uncertain how much time is left to become so.”
“@StarshipFairing We are on the wrong planet for SSTO. On Mars, it is thankfully easy.”
“@PPathole @SpaceX Pattern on the Starlink router is orbital transfer ellipse from Earth to Mars”
“And Mars https://t.co/geLbxjAlsw https://mars.nasa.gov/mars-exploration/missions/viking-1-2/”
“@cnunezimages @SpaceX @SpaceIntellige3 Gateway to Mars”
“@wapodavenport My plan is to use the money to get humanity to Mars and preserve the light of consciousness”
“@MattWallace888 Hopefully enough to extend life to Mars”
“@BryceSpaceTech Still basically nothing compared to the orbital mass flux needed for a base on moon or Mars”
“@SamTwits @Erdayastronaut @PPathole @vincent13031925 Long chain hydrocarbons, like kerosene, have excellent volumetric energy density, but what you really want for rockets is best way to bind hydrogen, which is CH4. Also, easy to make & store CH4+O2 from CO2+H2O, which are abundant on Mars.”
“Please add your voice to the public comments. Support is greatly appreciated! Humanity’s future on the moon, Mars & beyond depends upon it. Thanks, Elon”
“@SPEXcast @TrungTPhan Starship will be crushingly cost-effective for Earth orbit or moon missions as soon as it’s operational & rapid reuse is happening. Mars is a lot harder, because Earth & Mars only align every 26 months, so ship reuse is limited to ~dozen times over 25 to 30 year life of ship.”
“@l3nnybob @Grimezsz Preferably, on Mars”
“@ErcXspace And ship will be caught by Mechazilla too. As with booster, no landing legs. Those are only needed for moon & Mars until there is local infrastructure.”
“@PPathole Mars looks amazing”
“@itsALLrisky And that’s just for Earth! Mars has zero human population. We need a lot of people to become a multiplanet civilization.”
“@LabPadre Seriously, we’re getting eaten alive. Can’t get to Mars if the bugs eat us first.”
“@DrPhiltill Minimizing $/ton to the surface of Mars is the fundamental optimization”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @Kristennetten @RationalEtienne @EvaFoxU @JohnnaCrider1 @TeslaChillMode @CodingMark @Model3Owners @WholeMarsBlog @AustinTeslaClub I’m trying to set a good example! Population collapse is a much bigger problem than people realize and that’s just for Earth. Mars has a great need for people, seeing as population is currently zero. Humans are the custodians of other life on Earth. Let us bring life to Mars!”
“@GokuAurelius @Erdayastronaut Roughly 800 to 1000 per year. That’s about what’s needed over ten years to create the fleet to build a self-sustaining city on Mars. City itself probably takes roughly 20 years, so hopefully it is built by ~2050.”

“@_TomCross_ Million tons to Mars requires R R R”
“@flcnhvy @thatdogegirl @WhatsupFranks @TeslaGong Becoming multiplanetary is one of the greatest filters. Only now, 4.5 billion years after Earth formed, is it possible. How long this window to reach Mars remains open is uncertain. Perhaps a long time, perhaps not. In case it is the latter, we should act now.”
“@nbcsnl Chad saves Mars!”
“Public support for life on Mars is critical to making it happen”
“@johnkrausphotos @SpaceX Mars Base Alpha”
“If we make life multiplanetary, there may come a day when some plants & animals die out on Earth, but are still alive on Mars”
“Make life multiplanetary! #Mars”
“@engineers_feed Due to lower gravity, you can travel from surface of Mars to surface of Earth fairly easily with a single stage rocket. Earth to Mars is vastly harder.”
“@DavidWillisSLS @_Jevis_ @PPathole Needs legs for moon & Mars”
“Mars rover looking back https://t.co/oaFOCezRuU”
“@flcnhvy @arstechnica @SciGuySpace SpaceX will be landing Starships on Mars well before 2030. The really hard threshold is making Mars Base Alpha self-sustaining.”
“@TheMarsSociety SpaceX is developing rockets needed to make life multiplanetary — full & rapid reusability at large scale. Even if SpaceX fails in that goal, the rockets will still be most advanced on Earth. Starlink‘s purpose is to provide Internet to the least served & to pay for Mars.”
“@PPathole @arstechnica @SciGuySpace If 2021 manifest is met, SpaceX will do ~75% of total Earth payload to orbit with Falcon. A single Starship is designed to do in a day what all rockets on Earth currently do in a year. Even so, ~1000 Starships will take ~20 years to build a self-sustaining city on Mars.”
