Actually serious question. Would you or would you not move to Mars if Elon Musk or NASA successfully founded a colony there in the next couple of decades?

Instantly, with my wife, surelly.

I realize that people who are already married/currently in a long-term relationship are disincentivized from moving there. I'm curious what single people would say, though. I'm expecting most people wouldn't, but I'm somewhat curious.

There's many issues with 'moving' to mars: it would probably take very long until you could return (assuming you could return at all); there would be a high chance of failure and a (probably) high fatality rate early on. That is, assuming a 'colony' could actually be established in any real sense of the word.

Hell no. Our bodies are built to live on earth. Simple things like a runny nose could kill you in space with the lack of gravity to drain it.

Im sure I will take one of those space rides when its all worked out though. I am very curious to feel how zero gravity compares to sky diving.

It seems as though the health risks are greater than I thought. Do you have some extra info on that, btw? I'd be very interested in reading about it as I know very little about how the human body reacts in space.

As for space rides, how soon do you think that will become viable?

It's ok for me to be 1st screenwriter on Mars. My wife is scientist, so she can do the real social science in martian experiment. Also we can dance salsa and bachata with low gravity... Well, no need to return :)

Not zero! Lower is not zero!

that would sort of be like living your whole life in a coronavirus lockdown. But the internet would be slow as shit too and you definitely couldn’t play online games except against other people on mars.

Still better then living in Russia!

There will be a lot of more interesting things at Mars. I will make first martian movie, for example.

If you ever need an underweight American teenager for one of your films hit me up

Why would Helz know anything about Space? That is completely stupid.
Hold on, what's this? An Asteroid is heading to earth and will doom us all :O
Luckily for us, Helz is an expert with drilling and oil rigs so I think we are safe.
Yipikaye Motherfucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Move to Mars. Become a self-sustained colony. Lead a revolution. Take over Earth with newly improved Martian tech. Enslave all Trump supporters.

Here is one of my favorite channels that did a piece on the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTL_sJycQAA (Or was before he stopped making real content) Covers quite a few issues on it although the sinus thing I mentioned I read somewhere else. Its kinda difficult for me to figure out how I know what I know most of the time.

On the timeline the last estimate I herd was 2025. SpaceX has a history of underestimating their timelines though and their earlier projections were something like 2018 (And obviously we dont have space tourism yet through SpaceX.) I would bet that something like 2030 would be more realistic for it starting and another 5 years or so for it to become widely publicly available although your guess is as good as mine.

Not zero! Lower is not zero!
I mean.. We don't feel gravity, we feel acceleration. The only reason we have a notion of gravity is because we are constantly accelerating towards the earth. When doing an accelerated free fall you hit terminal velocity and stop accelerating which makes me feel weightless.

If you think about it our solar system is moving at like 490000 miles per hour and our planet is moving at 1000 miles per hour but we don't feel it because there is no acceleration.

I really wonder if there would be much of a difference at all in space.

Seeing as the Mars soil is deadly toxic to human bodies. Surely, yes, living in a dome for the remainder of your life sounds like an ideal that Apo would dream of. (sarc)

If there were other planets, possibly.

That will be hard to work from 2 continents, my budgets are not at Hollywood level :D Even after we won some festivals in LA :D

But maybe I will make some screenlife detective this winter. We will see.

But you’re limiting yourself there. Enslave everyone.
