Elon Musk: we must colonise Mars to preserve our species in a third world war

Humans must prioritise the colonisation of Mars so the species can be conserved in the event of a third world war, SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk said on Sunday.
quote:
“It’s important to get a self-sustaining base on Mars because it’s far enough away from Earth that [in the event of a war] it’s more likely to survive than a moon base,” Musk said on stage at SXSW – just days after Donald Trump announced plans to meet the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, in an attempt to defuse rising nuclear tension. “If there’s a third world war we want to make sure there’s enough of a seed of human civilisation somewhere else to bring it back and shorten the length of the dark ages,” Musk said, responding to questions from his friend Jonah Nolan, co-creator of TV show Westworld. SpaceX is working on a vehicle that will take humans to Mars, a 100-metre ship codenamed the BFR (Big fricking Rocket). But building a colony would require “tremendous entrepreneurial resources”, Musk said.
quote:
“There’s not many people who will want to go in the beginning,” he said, adding that over time the Red Planet colony would be hospitable and have “great bars. The Mars Bar! I love dad jokes, I’m a dad!”

That dickhead is probably trying to start the war.

He also warns there's a 'good chance' that early passengers could die...so they have that going for them.

At that point, I think I would rather just die.

Let's just skip to the end. How much do you want, Elon?

Also Elon Musk: you should give SpaceX all the contracts to do so.

As long as we send Matt Damon to lead the Mars colonists, I agree.

My aerospace engineers are imploring him to calm down, with the utmost guile, gumption, and gusto.

I just looked at the poli board, I'll take that chance.

I guess we know why Musk designed a personal flamethrower.

so I can continue to graft the system in grants for research.
Either way, I'd take "nerds" over oilfield trash all day, every day for the rest of eternity.

How does he decide which groups/races/cultures of people we get to preserve? Do you just take a homogenous group, or do we get a diverse group to go and end up just creating an interplanetary war?
