Current Affairs Elon Musk

The gravity difference would make them slower than McNeil

Doubt it. He runs like he towing his own personal gravity well behind him.

Sources tell me that during the next Earth-Mars transfer window Jordan Henderson will be going there to sort out homophobic Martians. Here we go!

I understand that we can build rockets and a space centre from which to launch the rockets to mars.
What I have never worked out is how they launch the rocket from mars back to earth.
Appreciate asking rocket science questions in a football forum is probably asking for trouble…

Hopefully it's a one-way ticket, and Musk will the first and only person to go...

I'd assume the first crewed flights won't he landing, same as with the moon. Go there to prove the distance is crossable before working out the logistics of landing. Whether we're in a place where fuel storage vs consumption problems & supplies etc concerns are solved I don't know. Elon Musk certainly thinks so, but he also thinks the Cybertruck was worth producing.

And long term, you also wouldn't need the same level of power required to launch back from Mars as the gravity is easier to overcome. In fact, I thought the clever plan for going Mars was always dependant on building a lunar launch station so the ships could start the journey without the need to burn so much fuel just to break Earth's atmosphere.

Ew. He proper makes my flesh creep.

This is absolutely deranged - a new low for Musk, and the bar for that was already on the floor

I wonder if the Dems get re elected they look at being so tied up in key areas of national security with a hostile threat to their beloved democracy.

More than that though, Elon is just an edgelord tit who’s platformed by libertarian dorks and shy nazis. It irks me how people fall for him, more so worship him as an apartheid Tony Stark.

Takes some doing to be the worst South African in history but this guy is going all in.
