When will we make it to mars? Anyone else curious why we dont populate the moon before mars?
reply
We will. The plan is for moon, then Mars
reply
oh really? When are they going to start?
reply
You think Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and others, haven't started? Really?
reply
II dont feel they are putting much effort into going to the moon. Bezos just wants to get space flight, right? Musk wants to get to mars. I dont see much push to go to the moon, but I could be missing the news on that.

You're not really paying attention. Musk wanting to get to Mars is through the moon first. The moon, if the water is there like we think it is, will be the gas station for Mars. We will put a small nuclear reactor there and we will convert H2O to rocket propellant and O2.
There will also be stations. in low Earth orbit (LEO). Musk 's Starship will need to lift off the planet, refuel in orbit, and then go on to the moon. There is much more if you really want to know. There is lots of coverage even on YT.
