Do you think humans will live on Mars in the foreseeable future? If so, will they drive Teslas?

I’d like to think so. Mars would make a good place to act as a spaceport of sorts-- since its gravity is less than ours, it’s easier to launch from there.

(Then again the same is true of the moon.)

But there’s so much to learn on Mars, and we’d probably make a lot more progress if we’re actually, physically there. And long-term habitation would be more efficient than making constant trips back and forth, especially since the trip can be pretty long.

I feel like the technology is there, and it’s getting better every day. It’s just a matter of directing the resources to it.

... and idk man, maybe, we’ll see????
