Not a joke. Guy really wants to nuke Mars. Going to wipe out those Martians.

quote:

Three years after first proposing the idea, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk again wants to "nuke Mars." "Nuke Mars," Musk tweeted on Friday


quote:

Musk has posited the contentious idea before. In 2015, Musk told Stephen Colbert in an appearance on his television show that in order to make the planet habitable for colonists, the easiest way to insert greenhouse gases and warm the Red Planet would be to drop nuclear weapons on its poles.

He likes to stay in the news, and know the media will cover every random tweet he puts out.

Not disagreeing, just making an observation.

Have you ever noticed that he seems to be on the spectrum though? His speech patterns are very irregular.

But Trump is insane for asking if buying Greenland was feasible.

Wouldn't the resulting debris clouds further lower the temperature enough to counteract any polar melting?

And then there's the whole issue with making the poles (and thus all the water/ice) radioactive. You want mutant bugs? That's how you get mutant bugs.

There is no way to make Mars long term breathable atmosphere so why bother?

It used to have an atmosphere like earth’s and there is a reason why it doesn’t anymore.

If life went from cookie cutter oppressed money making to killing mutant bugs all day? I'd be down.

Great, now you've gone and done it. You've made a bunch of OT baws triggered by this.

He is on the right track but has the wrong solution. Instead of nukes steer comets into hitting Mars at its poles. Comets will bring water and other gases to Mars and not radioactive.

How does dropping massive amounts of radiation good for living conditions? Can someone inform my ignant arse?

ETA: Space bugs due to radiation on Mars? Join the Mobile Infantry! Would you like to know more?
