        @elonmusk Again, I support your plans for manned mars trips, but you must shield all sides of the spacecraft's shelter. Best wishes, Jarrah

        @elonmusk The solar flare particles are deflected in all directions by the sun's magnetic field lines, so all sides need shielding.

        @elonmusk I'd go. How about financing? $500k is unattainable by most without selling all assets and taking out a massive loan.

        @elonmusk wouldn't 80,000 people take care of the need for millions more on their own? It's not a solution to overpopulation after all

        @elonmusk I think Philip K. Dick had some ideas about commercial colonization of Mars. In short, don’t charge for air.
