The first aren't even built yet, but [Elon Musk] already has big plans for his company's spacecraft, which includes turning humans into an interplanetary species with a presence on Mars. He crunched some of the numbers he has in mind on Twitter on Thursday.
Musk doesn't just want to launch a few intrepid souls to Mars, he wants to send a whole new nation. He tossed out a goal of building 100 Starships per year to send about 100,000 people from Earth to Mars every time the planets' orbits line up favorably.
A Twitter user ran the figures and checked if Musk planned to land a million humans on Mars by 2050. "Yes," . The SpaceX CEO has suggested this sort of . This new round of tweets give us some more insight into how it could be done, though "ambitious" doesn't do that timeline justice. Miraculous might be a more fitting description.
...
fans, rejoice. there will be plenty of jobs on Mars. When asked how people would be selected for the Red Planet move, , "Needs to be such that anyone can go if they want, with loans available for those who don't have money." So perhaps you could pay off your SpaceX loans with a sweet terraforming gig.
Terraforming the planet should be easy if Quaid can get past Cohagen and start the reactor.

I like the way you think, we could get along.
Sadly, this is well worn territory, Asimov's Daneel R. Olivaw had to travel once to another planet than earth and it was just rich people on vast manors surrounded by only robots because all human contact had become dirty and pedestrian to them. So when someone died by surprise it had to be a robot, so the robo pscyhologist was called in, whodunit.
Then there is Altered Carbon/Elsyium, to some extent Wall-E(or aliens vs predator comics...) where this kindof utopic garden of eden could be created in space or high altitude, but only for a handful of of oligarchs and their harems.
Needless to say this does not ever result in improvement for the 99% on earth.
I think Mark Passio is on to something with his order followers, the police and military have to learn the difference between protect and oppress, or any system turns into a shitshow.
In Bolivia, the miiltary just recently decided poorly. In Venezuela, they are so far demonstrating that to a man they understand what is at stake, which is badass. #
