Where I appear to differ w @elonmusk is just that I donāt yet see the claimed diversity benefit from Mars via Rockets. But I may not get his plan. | Where I appear to differ w @elonmusk is just that I donāt yet see the claimed diversity benefit from Mars via [[Chemical Rockets|Rockets]].

With Rockets, you can maybe get Mars/Moon for planetary diversification. Thatās *not* enough even *if* you get it done (a huge āifā). | With [[Chemical Rockets|Rockets]], you can maybe get Mars/Moon for planetary diversification. Thatās *not* enough even *if* you get it done (a huge āifā). | ||

Why do #BTC only to undo it in the face of the easily foreseeable? This and focus on Rocket propulsion(?) over fundamental physics are 2 things I clearly donāt get. | Why do #BTC only to undo it in the face of the easily foreseeable?

|content=I think thatās great. Where we differ is that I donāt think Earth, our Moon & Mars plus space stations connected by rockets give us much real diversity. Itās barely doable. But assume you could make it work. I would want to run 1000s of uncorrelated experiments as most will fail. | |content=I think thatās great.
