If the Musk can't do it, nobody can.

Is this what he thinks astronaut suits look like ? Is he crazy or what ?

>>8022033
>astrosuits need to look gay and bulky
nigga step it up

>>8022034
> going up to space with thin flimsy leather that holds up with stitches
are you gay ?

>>8022037
You so sure that it's leather, that doesn't look like leather to me.

If its supposed to be a pressure suit for mars, it doesnt necessarily need to be bulky

>>8022054
its fucking leather with stitches you buttnipple. you don't go to space like this
>>8022055
> its for mars
Oh god...I thought it was a promotional fake suit or something. he cant be serious

It is, i'm just saying an actual pressure suit wouldnt necessarily be bulky the way a space suit is

i didnt know it was promotional buttsickle >:O
>>8022067
well you do. it needs to be bulky because you have to carry all kinds of security measures on your body incase shit goes wrong.

We are never going to colonize space nor mars.
The amount of material and energy it would take just doesn't exist from our standpoint.

It just doesn't.
The math doesn't work out.

>>8022077
Yeah but its still nothing like as bad as a space suit

A space suit is even bulkier. Felix didn't even go to the moon and look at the shit he had to carry on his suit. You're gonna need bulky shit if you wanna survive

>>8022091
>A space suit is even bulkier
Thats what im saying. A pressure suit for a thin atmosphere doesnt need to be quite as extreme as a spacesuit for orbital eva

Isn't he just a guy with a shit ton of money?

>>8022204
And a background in engineering, and VISION

hes not "just" that

>>8022204
He made all his money from spacex
Pays himself a huge salary, like 100 million a year

>>8022237
So why doesn't he invest that 100 million dollar instead of just taking it? I mean thats what you would expect from someone with a >vision (lol)

>>8022237
Spacex is barely profitable and tesla loses money, he made all his money with paypal

>>8022251
And launching rockets to space then landing them back to a small platform on the sea is hard

>>8022256
Indeed it is, and damn impressive

>>8022251
In October 2002, PayPal was acquired by eBay for US$1.5 billion in stock, of which Musk received US$165 million.

thats all he had to start spacex with

>>8022240
?
Because he has other things to invest in, and because he wants money for himself, he wasn't a billionaire before he started SpaceX

>>8022251
>and tesla loses money

Do you really think this is relevant?

>>8022251
>Tesla loses money

M8, people just preordered almost 400 000 cars thats around 14 billions dollars

>>8022967
And since they're literally falling into pieces when people drive them (when they're not locked out of the car because of a software bug, that is), selling and having to repair 400 000 shitboxes isn't exactly something that looks profitable. Their cars are about as reliable as their rockets.

>>8022975

You are still a moron

Musk owns nearly 30% of a company worth 40 billion without having even made a profit yet

Look at amazon's profit margin then market cap and come backj

As far as I know, the helmet is real Spacex tech but the suit was made by Vogue for this photoshoot

Do we really need to colonize Mars?

For such a gargantuan task, there has to be an equally huge reward.

>>8022975
>they're literally falling into pieces when people drive them

You are a delusional person.

>Elon Musk believes in global warming and muh CO2

What a stupid man
Little autistic boy

>Do we really need to colonize Mars?

Yup, Well a second earth or and artificial planet would be better,but we can't afford our current rate of grown without new ground.

>>8022975
>Doesn't know what an investment is

If you seriously don't get how fucking unique and massive the advantages of Tesla and SpaceX are and will be when they're done, then there's not a lot of hope for you. All that is nothing new in risk investment, there's just a shit ton of visibility because if these things go as planned, they're quite literally going to change the world.

And if that happens, who ever was in on it is gonna make such a fucking shit ton of money you won't even believe. For those who have the buck to spare, and are into risk investment, it's a no-brainer.

>>8023161
electric cars are for fags m8
i'll never buy one

>but we can't afford our current rate of grown without new ground.

kek, that is ridiculous nonsense, and I'm actually in favor of Mars colonization.

The world population increases by about 150 people per MINUTE. How many Mars colonists do you think there will be?

are you suggesting that nobody in the next century will be capable of making a launch vehicle out of decommissioned submarines that utilize hyper efficient electrolysis out at sea via aircraft carrier? because makes more sense than trying to coordinate a mach 5 freefalling tube down to the ground while ensuring that your module is in a stable trajectory.

>>8023167
If we can make a self sufficient colony , a lot.
But you have to see forward, we should make mars and habitable planet in the next 150-200 years in order to be able to grow more,

Human race has had 0 growth for like the last 100 years
It's the subhumans that have been growing in numbers

>>8023188
>If we can make a self sufficient colony , a lot.

Wrong answer.

>>8023188
>>8023190
>>8023199
The rate of population growth has been dropping since 1963, and is down to about half what it was then.
If it keeps declining at this rate, we'll see human population dropping every year starting in 2081.
