The article debates the possibility of Mars colonization by Elon Musk in his lifetime. While landing humans on Mars may become a reality soon, establishing a sustainable colony akin to vibrant life on Earth is unlikely. The challenges posed by physics and biology, along with Mars' harsh environment, make long-term settlement infeasible. Although initial human presence on Mars will generate significant media attention, it will resemble an isolated research outpost rather than a bustling community, filled with stark realities instead of utopian visions.
A functional, self-sustaining colony in Musk's lifetime—as in a place where people live, love, and build lives that don't hinge on recurring supply drops—just isn't in the cards.
The media spectacle alone will be worth the wait. The first selfie by The First Human On Mars will break the internet, triggering profound audience capture.
