Musk’s Bold Mars Blues: 70% Chance, 100% Drama
Elon Musk just dropped a truth bomb in a new HBO interview, saying he’s got about a 70% odds of hopping onto one of his rockets to Mars. Even though he already joked that one of those odds comes with a “good chance of death” — because space ain’t all rockets and pancakes, right?
SpaceX Founder: “I’m ready!”
When the question came up, Musk smoothed out the anxiety and declared, “I know exactly what to do. I’m talking about moving there.” He’s basically telling the world he’s not just dreaming about red dust; he’s planning to pack his bags.
Rich Escape Hatch or Real Challenge?
Someone asked whether a Mars colony would end up as the VIP “escape hatch” for the wealthy. Musk threw on a hard hat and said no:
- He compared a Mars ad to Shackleton’s legend of Antarctic exploration.
- According to him, even arriving at Mars means you’re stuck building a base, surviving harsh conditions, and chasing survival like a sci‑fi gladiator.
From Earth’s Orbit to 1st‑Class Red Planet
SpaceX’s director—now chief of all the private ventures that hobby out how to reach Mars—is grateful for an amazing 20‑years run of the orbital lab. If you’re still reading, you can nod: “Happy anniversary, #SpaceStation20th!” as @SpaceX keeps the rockets humming.
