What absurd opening logic. The first person is a rocket engineer. He doesn't just play Kerbel Space, he designs rockets.

The schematics for Starship allows for at best 15-20 people. Supplies are a thing. The ability for humans to travel & survive for this distance is not established at all, nor is the ability to build structures, grow food, supply air & water, etc

Psychological effects: with a few hundred people, same as in any small society.

This confident nonsense is like discussing reality with an Iraq War Cheerleader Circa 2004-2007 .

There's no plan. To get to the Moon, Starship itself requires ~-15 refueling launches using a method that doesn't exist, despite the taxpayers giving the company 300+ million dollars to develop it.

Opposition to sane transit is real and Musk admitted this.

A rocket is just a truck. A fleet of trucks don't build or make possible whatever we dream them to carry.

A giant truck doesn't meet all demands. Starlink is just the Internet and does not count towards the existing, now saturated "market".

Neurolink was an existing company, it's founder quit in shame after they faked/stole existing research. His own professor, the leading expert in the field, declared it all bunk with the metaphor "Elon Musk couldn't find a brain of he tried".

Musk is a sociopath hijacking reality so real issues are ignored.

You understand Elon Musk better than most of Journalism.

"Why was commmunism so blind to it's flaws?" Have you paid attention to our society & capitalism lately?

They also did a tech review of the movie Armageddon! He is a good source for understanding reality vs. Elon Musk's many fantasies.
