>Donald Trump wants humans on Mars in the next three years.
>He is unsatisfied with Nasa's current plans – to get humans on the Red Planet in the 2030s – and wants people on Mars by the end of his first term, in three-and-a-half years.
>At a push, he wants people on the planet by the end of his second term, which would come in 2025 if he were to be elected again. The President told the astronauts that they need to speed up to meet his target.
There was a conference with the ISS. Celebrating some record of an astronaut.

How can he send anyone to Mars, when the Earth is flat?
Kayden Morris
Bush wanted a nuclear space program until the deep state created the second Iraq war that cost us trillions.

WE CHOOSE TO GO TO MARS BY THE END OF THIS DECADE
David Campbell
finally

>2030s >I'll be in mid 30's >humans on Mars
Cooper Butler
I want at least 70km of wall in 3 years and that is a stretch.
Leo Clark
nice pun
Nathaniel Flores
tfw mars was really struck by Zeus' lightning
Evan Rodriguez
Don't reproduce
Dylan Hernandez
this orange fool is a business man y the fuk he sending people to mars while mining asteroids will be more profitable, fuck mars
Dominic Davis
Hopefully that means the Orion test launch next year will be manned.
All test launches
Benjamin Sanchez
True. If we had put that $1 trillion into NASA, we would have already landed people on Mars. Maybe a moon of Jupiter or Saturn too.
Andrew Stewart
de prezidant is a big scary man and I dont like him, but when asked why i dont have any other reasons than he is raciste with no proof
John Barnes
He would be immortalized as the President who sent people to another planet
Dont think they can pull it off before he finishes even 2nd term though
William Powell
WE MARS NOW MUH SCIFI LARP PROTEST BTFO
John Peterson
>spending billions on a suicide mission just to leave a flag on a dead planet what the fuck
Ayden Mitchell
Why? The Orion spacecraft is designed to go to Mars. They just have to fucking finish it.
Jaxson Walker
AND DO THE OTHER THING
Asher Gray
Why would it be a suicide mission? It really isn't that difficult. We have landed robots on Mars many times, so we know how to do it.
Camden Young
?????
Anthony Perez
This isn't about America only, it's about the frontiers of mankind.
Coming back home after getting really high with friends, I would stand on my front porch and gaze at the stars and wonder: will we ever go there? Thanks to Trump I know we will, the only problem I have with Trump is his kike daughter.
Dominic White
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD
Brody Nguyen
We have to colonize it. We can't just sit around until we set society back 100 years with nuclear war. As a species, we need more direction.
Ryder Price
>suicide mission What?
Jace Turner
with fully erect members and Fortunate Son playing in the background? Or is it more like the moon landing where we land and start staring with a shit eating grin at the Big Bad Comrades
Gavin Richardson
*Rendezvous IV plays*
Owen Scott
They sure as fuck aren't getting there with all the fucking budget cuts NASA has had, so he better get to diverting resources allocated elsewhere to them if he's for real.
Eli Ramirez
there's no point sending humans there. Robots do the job and you don't have to feed it or worry about bathrooms and things of the like.A new spacecraft would be nice though since we've just been sending all our people up through Russia.
Leo Foster
Well we have this coming up allowing for full mobility youtube.com/watch?v=RLqzatnVAfA Not surprised we are taking the early steps into space age, slightly.
Hurray Humanity!
Hudson Allen
Can't we do both?
Jacob Thompson
If Trump is going to Mars, cucks should head to Venus
Jaxon Morales
pretty much ties into what pic related said about trump, antarctica and the near future
Owen Howard
With the current technology the crew would die before they get to Marse.
First they have to invent a magnetic shield generator to protect humans from cosmic rays.
Dominic Miller
Did those robots came back? Did they complain due to lax of oxygen, starvation, radiation poison? It doesn't matter, it's risky as fuck and will 100% get every volunteer killed. Trump will be seen as a President that sent people to space to die, just like Kenedy was in risk to when Armstrong and the other nigger were close to get stranded on the moon.
Jaxson Thomas
It would actually be easier to put inflatable cloud cities on Venus than land on Mars.
Andrew Cox
Ok OK
Is that one of those pastors that say the earth is flat?
Or one of those conspirative that say that Antartica is like an alien base or some shit
Colton Scott
Musk is sending people to Mars anyway, having a colony in Mars is good, not only another frontier bronken but the US can nuke Russia without the fear of humanity going to oblivion.
Imagine, if no one wanted to colonize the new world, me and me american friends wouldn't exist.
Cooper Long
We've had a space station in orbit for what, 15+ years? Chill out, it's not hard to overcome these issues. They just need to launch a separate rocket with a large service module for the trip.
Gabriel Wood
>Is that one of those pastors that say the earth is flat? No, he's not.
>Or one of those conspirative that say that Antartica is like an alien base or some shit Yes, and then some...
Asher Rogers
this is likely lokking hexagonal because of some user error with the optics or camera-shutter
David Powell
We have to, but we can't right now. Don't expect everything to be done in your lifetime.
Interplanetary travel will not be *profitable* for Elon But he will get government and investor money
Dominic Mitchell
Oh boy, another Hollywood movie incoming. I guess he'll make movies about how he drained the swamp, make murica great again, etc. Or just forget about it after few weeks.
Ayden Wilson
>Implying we can't leave Earth just because we live on an artificial disc world
Are you retarded?
Adrian Morris
>Takes two years just to get to mars from Earth in Orion
No it doesn't. One year tops.
If we had been investing in better tech (chemical rockets are a waste) we could do it a lot faster.
Jason Robinson
way ahead of you, honorary Aussie Musk has our back
Eli Jackson
Space is fake you faggots. Grow up and leave this fantasy behind.
Nathan Johnson
the current systems designed to go to mars dont account for artificial gravity so we would need to design new systems... build those.... and man rate them. Not happening by his 2nd terms end.
Asher Stewart
>sending a man to mars before setting up a permanent and sizeable base on the moon
Why? It's going to be a huge waste of resources with almost no payback while developing a base on the moon could actually help in advancing our space related technology
Hudson Morgan
there won't be artifical gravity in Orion
The astronauts will need to exercise and stay fit for two years until they land on Mars.
The gravity is lower on mars but quite close to Earth
Scott Kelly couldn't walk for weeks after landing on Earth after just one year.
Then theres the question about radiation out of earths magnetic field too
Isaiah Williams
Why not?
He will have a monopoly.
Grayson Parker
A moon base is a waste of resources. Let private companies do that if there is any profit in it.
Jason Foster
>The gravity is lower on mars but quite close to Earth
Try one-third.
John Ross
Jesus Christ you are the biggest negative nancy I have ever met in my entire life.
Fuck off, pussy faggot.
Charles Taylor
What actual profit is there to be had? I can think of nothing but giant costs for decades
Justin Parker
The only problem I have with Trump is that he doesn't believe in global warming
Luke Wilson
Will he pay for the increased incidence of cancer due to space radiation?
James Gutierrez
This
bunch of rocks, mars? Mars can be terraformed, and the United States has what it takes: nukes
Jason Powell
You got jewed lad, break the conditioning
Ryder Gomez
We haven't even been to the moon you r.ddit cucks.
Alexander Allen
But then private companies will be able to drop rocks from the moon to the earth, and annihilate the human race.
Ethan Roberts
Yeah i meant compared to zero g
Eli Parker
Anyone who wants to go to Mars will have to pay spacex.
Ian Adams
He doesn't even know what he's doing here on earth.
Adrian Fisher
I'd sooner bet on Cody of Cody's Lab beating NASA on that one, with enough funding of course
Jason Rivera
What space videos? Go on youtube and point me of someone that agrees a trip to Mars, with out current technology, doesn't equal to a slow and painful death.
Oh yeah I can already picture myself watching one of those reality shows on Mars where everyone is suffocating and going crazy.
Jaxon Wright
the money doesn't get shot into space retard. It funds new research and new jobs.
Christopher Walker
Buildin you build a wall
Evan King
Because >muuuuhhhhhh presidency achievement
Liam Bailey
The whole point of a moon base is to be a check point between earth and other far off destinations. You don't want to have to re enter the earths gravity all the time, and being on a surface like the moon would be much easier to work than in a space station
Matthew Miller
Is he going to increase NASA's budget? Is NASA no longer the cesspool of SJWs and "everyone except white males can be engineers and scientists?" If any of this changes call me.
Jaxson Wilson
Yes! Profit!
Lincoln Lopez
Who would want to go to Mars in elons lifetime though? There is nothing there and won't be for a while. And they'd have to pay millions of dollars to pay for the trip
Mason Hernandez
Sounds like somebody got sent back
Daniel Ward
The mortality rate among new world settlers from Europe was appallingly high and people still did it.
We need to find people who have the balls (and possibly craziness) to do this. And with every trip we'll learn more.
We definitely have the technology to get there and back. The downside is that it's a 6 year round trip and the estimated cost is $90Bn (which means the real cost is probably more like $500Bn).
We should attempt it as soon as possible.
Carson Nguyen
*our current And you know something, robots can do that job just fine. And they are more mobile than whoever gets sent there.
Brandon Bailey
Why not cloud cities over the wasted (and failing) pacific ocean instead?
