Are there any risks? What could be the worst-case-scenario?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 20, 2019
Not risky imo & can be adjusted/improved real-time. Essentially need to figure out most effective way to convert mass to energy, as Mars is slightly too far from this solar system’s fusion reactor (the sun).

Why does everyone always think that diverting comets is easy?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 20, 2019
True, diverting a comet would be super hard. Could be done with small asteroids & a mass driver, but this is risky.

Might make sense to have thousands of solar reflector satellites 🛰 to warm Mars vs artificial suns (tbd)

@elonmusk · Aug 20, 2019
Nuke Mars refers to a continuous stream of very low fallout nuclear fusion explosions above the atmosphere to create artificial suns. Much like our sun, this would not cause Mars to become radioactive.

Elon 🌞
will the SpaceX presentation at Boca Chica take place on August 24 this week?
or will it be delayed if StarHopper doesn't recieve FAA approval this week to launch?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 20, 2019
Will probably make sense to do this when Starship Mk 1 has 3 Raptors, moving body fins & landing gear installed, which is hopefully mid September

Trickier than it may seem on Mars, as atmospheric density is 1% that of Earth & gravity is 38%, but doable for localized warming

Air Force certified the FH after a single flight.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 20, 2019
AF certification required an enormous amount of work. It’s mostly design-review based, not flight-based.

Great name! Wouldn’t worry about this particular one, but a big rock will hit Earth eventually & we currently have no defense.

The reservation costs the same amount in different countries. What about the full prices in the end? Same or different?
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Aug 18, 2019
Don’t know yet, but it’s important that the whole world transition to sustainable energy, so we’ll make costs as low as possible
