Trump Promises Mission To Mars; Elon Musk Warns Kamala Will “Doom Humanity”
Donald Trump announced during a North Carolina rally Saturday that he intends to launch a mission to Mars if elected to office for a second term.
“Elon, get those rocket ships going because we want to reach Mars before the end of my term!” Trump announced before the huge crowd in Wilmington, referencing Space X owner Elon Musk, who has a long term goal to colonise Mars.

Following on from launching the Space Force in his first term, Trump has also spoken of planning to create a National Guard for Space Force.
“Now that Space Force is up and running, I agree with your leadership that the time has come to create a Space National Guard as the primary combat reserve of the US Space Force,” Trump stated last month.
He further noted that the Space Force was one of the programs he is most proud of implementing during his first term.
Imagine the interplanetary cope and seethe of leftists if a joint Trump/Musk colony on Mars became a reality.
Earlier this month, Musk warned that “will never reach Mars if Kamala wins,” explaining that “Trump supports a government efficiency commission to allow great things to be done, Kamala does not.”
Unless there is significant government reform, laws & regulations will keep getting worse every year until every great endeavor, from high-speed rail between our cities to making life multiplanetary, is effectively illegal.

Yesterday, Musk published a lengthy post explaining how “SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years,” with further “crewed missions possible in four years.”
“Eventually, there will be thousands of Starships going to Mars and it will a glorious sight to see! Can you imagine? Wow,” Musk continued.
He added that “The fundamental existential question is whether humanity becomes sustainably multiplanetary before something happens on Earth to prevent that, for example nuclear war, a supervirus or population collapse that weakens civilization to the point where it loses the ability to send supply ships to Mars.”
Musk again warned that “While I have many concerns about a potential Kamala regime, my absolute showstopper is that the bureaucracy currently choking America to death is guaranteed to grow under a Democratic Party administration. This would destroy the Mars program and doom humanity.”

If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years. If we encounter challenges, then the crewed missions will be postponed another two years.

While Musk, correctly, warns that humanity has to journey into the stars in order to ensure survival of the species, Democrats have voiced opposition.
Yes, really.
An asteroid could slam into the Earth any day and wipe everything out as it has many times before, but worrying about that is somehow silly.
Earlier this year, Barack Obama stated that when he hears talk people about a plan to colonize Mars “I look at them like, what are you talking about?”
“I would rather us invest in taking care of this planet here,” Obama continued, adding that space exploration should be confined to “gathering knowledge and discovery.”
He sure seems to have changed his tune, now it’s Donald Trump and Elon Musk who want to go to Mars:
President Obama announced sweeping changes for NASA.
