The silicate dust is going to be worse. We'll never be able to inhabit mars so long as breathing the air would basically end up with breathing glass, and even habitats have a huge issue of trying to get rid of or manage that sort of dust. Radiation is comparatively an easy task to manage if you ask me the dust just fucks up everything.

The earth is flat and stationary with a dome. You are never ever leaving this enclosed plane alive. CGI is all you get in this life and if you are vaxxed, I know many of you here are, then perhaps you get the Mars landingss livestreamed straight into your brain and other subsequent landings as well as soon as they become available. Or maybe you can livestream several landings at the same time with the same bitrate and no loss in experience quality.

We haven't even been to the moon in over 50 years. Musk needs to calm down. Really things like Mars should be reserved for sentient AI that aren't hindered by human limitations like requiring water and oxygen to function. Never mind that it takes at least seven months to get there, meaning even a flyby would take over a year.

The moon is a lot more realistic, we've been there before and it only takes three days to get there. If he put the same amount of effort and resources into that, maybe we'd eventually see some progress up there

On the rocket the crew is confined to a limited space and are protected by polyethylene (or other synthetic materials) against protons and neutrons and by metal shielding against high energy photons. The shielding also doesn't have to be perfect because it's only needed for a few months.
On Mars the colonists would need to be reliably protected for decades and they can use a thick layer of Martian soil to cover their habitats for that. They don't need to pack it with them.

Living on Mars is possible but Elon is a lying sack of shit when he says it'll happen within 5 years or something like that. We won't even have a functional colony in our lifetimes. We'll get there, just "eventually". The sheer amount of challenges and logistics alone to have a sustainable colony on Mars is nothing short of insane but you gotta crawl before you can even walk so it's a better idea to start small scale by doing a base on the moon. It's way closer to home and if things get real fucky it's only a 3 day trip back home instead of a 7 month one.

Hey guys, I figured out how to deal with the gravity issues. Just make part of the colonies giant Gravitron machines. Just need to make sure the top is strong enough to keep people from rippen through.

More seriously, you could also dig large circular tunnels and set up train tracks on an incline, and run habitat trains on them. Any serious colonization effort will need tunneling machines & ability to make rail roads anyways, for bulk transport.

You also probably would not need everyone on the train section all the time, mostly your delicates like pregnant women & young children. Have everyone else takes shifts. You could also have a higher g track that you get on at the Gains Station, that people do periodic workouts on.

Who cares about radiation? You've got gravity to deal with first. Then you have to figure out what makes a core work and then how to make it work again. Atmosphere is down the list.

A large percentage of astronauts sent to Mars would have mental breakdowns during the mission. Building the vehicle to get there is probably the easiest part of the process, the logistics, and human factors are significantly harder issues to solve. We are certainly not going there in the next 100 years.

Planets are off the table really. All the near-standard gravity planets we'll ever find will be uninhabitable either due to being complete lifeless shitholes or because they host aliens with fucked up imcompatible aminoacids. Both will be incomprehensibly hard to terraform even to a basic level. The final redpill is O'Neill cylinders built for next to nothing by full-cycle automated drones outside planetary gravity wells. No jellobabies and meme gravity, no radiation, no living in an underground pod on some fucked husk like Mars, just chilling in climate-controlled, 1G, rural space utopia, every schizo ideology and religion gets its own cylinders so no endless wars for dirt. Musk et al should really be researching how to do space mining automation bootstrapping in the asteroid belt.

That tech also handily rolls over into the concept of Von Neumann probes, making terraforming not completely out of the question with the speed at which they can be sent out ahead of O'Neill Cylinders.

As fucking garbo as the govt. is, and how negligent/exploitative they can be, I'd still rather trust them than a dirty corporation.
Especially one run by such an egotistical maniac.
You'd be left to die the next time he offers $30bn for reddit as a joke and gets sued to high hell when he backs out of it, when one of his chromium interfaced rockets bugs out and lands in a residential area, or when the govt. decides to stop giving him uncle sam's tendie subsidies because he either failed to deliver or over some political stunt.

If we remove direct state violence, we're left with what?
Neglect to take care of a person who can't find work or is fired by the free market?
Failure by them to enact regulations and guidelines a corp is allowed to sell us?
Failure by them to hold a corp responsible for dumping chems directly in your water supply?
Willfully assisting corps in putting down labor strikes? (This one is taken out of the running by ignoring direct state violence, though)

It's not looking good for Elon, here.
I'm not beholden to his whims in the same way I am the govt. while living where I do now.
On another planet though, you're going from a bad/apathetic ruler here to a direct totalitarian one there.
He can speak his platitudes about libertarianism here all he wants, but the second he doesn't turn a profit, you know what they say about 'absolute power' and all...

Humans can't survive on Mars, but chad ultrahuman Ramsarians can. They already withstand natural radiation higher than the Martian surface with no ill effects.

The thing is, if we can find a way to live on Mars we can sure as hell improve life on Earth with far greater ease to such an extent that escape to Mars won't be necessary.
