“Space hype!” commented Mike Adams, publisher of Science.news and director of CWC Labs. “It’s interesting how Musk fails to mention that his suggestion of fleeing Earth to colonize other celestial bodies would, of course, require billions of dollars in new government subsidies to his corporations,” Adams said. “The idea that any humans will be living on Mars or the moon anytime soon is pure hogwash. Without at least two orders of magnitude of improvements in the cost efficiency of Earth-to-orbit thrusting technology, launching human colonies toward other planets is a pipe dream.”
