I really think he will, (if he hasn't already), improve space travel and the technology behind launch vehicles for the better, but I still am skeptical he can get Humans to Mars.

that's the whole point of SpaceX though. What do you think will be the insurmountable aspect of getting people to Mars that SpaceX will encounter? It's all just a series of solvable engineering challenges imo

If BFR works as intended, an entire laundry list of missions become viable, with Mars colonization simply being a check mark at the top of the list.

$50/kg LEO. Nearly anyone can do whatever the fuck they want anywhere in the solar system.

I think that's been shitcanned. A full third of the Russian space program funds is mismanaged, they can't exactly start spending oodles
