Getting into Stefan Molyneux levels of breeder fetish egg fixations, too.
I’d love to go to Mars and live in a shitty bunker while my lungs get shredded by irradiated razor sharp dust
“We will figure it out when we get there. Can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs. Where is your sense of adventure? You think SpaceX didn’t already account for that?”
Any competent engineer would have accounted for such a basic and obvious threat to life in space and mars such as radiation. Therefore no further inquiry is required we can just give him the benefit of the doubt.
I even saw a bazinga webcomic that mocked the idea of radiation being a problem by having the “command center” at SpaceX™® announce “someone on the internet brought up radiation! We forgot about the radiation, everyone! Stop everything!”
The only thing that didn’t make that joke actually real was the stopping everything part.
It really all just boils down to “how DARE you question your betters” doesn’t it?
The whole eggs/fertility thing is really based on a huge (and largely deliberate) misunderstanding of reproductive biology and how ovarian follicles work and die. You’re essentially at peak fertility at 30, most of the eggs die off before age 5.
I think a lot of egg-o-maniacs cherry-pick the data to fit what they already believe so they can have the strongest possible case to creep on children.

Yeah, their whole thing is just creep shit.

I had completely forgotten about Stefan Molyneux
So did I, until this particular breeding fetish vampire started egg-talking.
It’s so funny that the logical conclusion of this guy’s life is Starlink satellites inevitably causing Kessler syndrome and preventing humans space exploration.
“Starlink” bazinga satellites are low-earth orbit, which means they’ll burn up in the near future… which means more launches are constantly needed to maintain the bazinga satellite network for even more waste production and carbon dumping. The future!
I prefer to dream big. Eternal night sky pollution with 20 TW geosynchronous powersats please. Death to Earth based astronomy, or something.
Sounds a lot like what had in mind after going up into space and coming up with… stuff, instead of the usual humility and newfound sense of care for the planet.
Well powersats would actually be very good for the planet.
A whole lot of technological things would be cool and good if they weren’t entrusted to the worst possible people for the worst possible reasons.
I’m stupid BTW I meant GW not TW
Musk creating a Mars colony is the Star Citizen of space travel.
I think the Star Citizen grift fascinates me because it’s a miniature version of the grift empire, from bullshit promises to fascist ideology baked right in.
I’m not as familiar with the Star Citizen situation aside from the posts about it on here but it’s also funny how those devs are the whales for such a long time now, and yeah Musk has been getting away with it for decades… low priced electric cars, self driving cars, sentient AI, Mars colony, you name it, the techbros were the biggest marks for it as usual
How many eggs does he think are required to make one baby lol
He doesn’t know or care but he wants to keep reaching for that high score.
It also doesn’t matter how many of his own kids rightfully hate him. Just keep going for that high score, like a fucking bacteria colony.
omelette
ever wonder why pregnant bellies are pan shaped
Elon make a post without being creepy about breeding challenge
I want him to be confident enough that him and his six richest friends go early on
4 years
Wow, in my lifetime the Mars LandingsTM have gone from being perpetually 20 years away, to perpetually 10 years away, to perpetually 4 years away. Truly impressive!
I wonder if we’ll be down to perpetually 2 years away in 10 years!
The great thing about Mars is there’s no pesky age of consent laws!
King Bazinga himself has openly admitted how excited he would be to have no pesky Earth laws to restrict him.
He may be still too much of a coward to actually hop onto one of his bazinga rockets, but he certainly would enjoy the ultimate Little St. James experience if it was available to him.
How did that quote not be sus to anyone? Like that seriously implies that there is an earth law he wants to break, but he is smart enough to know not even he can get away with criticizing that earth law.
Considering his “just joking… unless” tweets years back about wanting one of his companies to develop “genetically engineered catgirls for domestic use” it’s more Schrodinger’s Asshole as always.
I genuinely believe the entirety of SpaceX only exists because he wants to be free from any semblance of consequences for SA
That’s the usual actual billionaire motivation for “spacesteading:” to be even further from consequences than “seasteading” even if they failed at that already.
I hope his first class spaceship accidentally sets a course straight for the sun, communication from Earth gets cut off, and there’s nothing he or his billionaire friends can do as they’re slowly incinerated
No pesky labor laws either.
Moon is right there, and have same conditions (no magnetic field, no atmosphere, carcinogenic dust)
It’s not a treats-derived Science Victory meme the way Mars is, which is probably why it isn’t romanticized the same way (and doesn’t inspire venture capital and government subsidies).
Putting nukes on the moon will probably be first case of building something there
Or maybe pog telescope
I bet Musk creates a weapons program before he lands on Mars. If he wants to be emperor of Mars he’ll need a threat in order to prevent rebellion and the colony declaring independence from him the moment it gains any kind of self sufficiency.
metabolically
I think King Bazinga meant “metaphorically” but anyone that would correct him would get fired.
This is the worst future. I love space, I love space travel and I do truly believe expanding out to the stars is inevitable for humanity. But the governments of the world with space capable craft are either underfunded or too busy bailing out billionaire vanity projects.
I have zero confidence that this man or his circlejerk corporate stooges can get ANYTHING to land on Mars. Nor will he be able to get anyone there safely. He has no serious plan for this, he’ll just throw his slave-labor money at a group of recent aerospace engineering graduates and tell them to figure it out, as long as it’s under budget, of course.
I dunk hard on frequently because I am a deeply disappointed and jaded space exploration enjoyer that had a lifelong dream/fantasy of reaching for the stars that has been ideologically (and economically and politically) dominated by billionaire manchildren and their clownish personal whims for decades now.
