    Make it a one way trip for him please…

    Also, he’s not allowed to take his money and assets with him, leave and disperse those assets for the rest of the people here.

    He can go dig for his own gold and shit and establish his own worthless economy on his dead rock if he wants, assuming he would even survive…

      He famously claimed that you could give Mars an atmosphere and terraform it with nukes. He should try that once he gets there.

      As I understand it, There’s no way with current technology for a trip to Mars to be a round trip thing really. It’s a one and done.

      Mars colonization was intended for the first settlers to settle. Not return.

        Technically we totally could, if you can ship 1 kilogram to mars you can ship a spaceship to mars capable of getting back with enough un-manned trips in advance. Economically feasable however it is not.

          it’s even really difficult technically, because you have to keep the propellant cool on the surface of mars while you stay there, which is really difficult. in outer space, it’s possible because there’s only sunlight as a heat source, and if you create a shadow, then it’s chilly as fuck, but on the planet surface, winds will carry heat to the fuel deposit and eventually warm it up, and cooling that amount of propellant is expensive (energy-wise) as fuck.

      Mom I want a planet to destroy. We have a perfectly good planet to destroy at home. The planet we have at home:

      money and assets with him

      The money is of no use on Mars, and billionaires can’t relocate many of their assets anyway

      Let “it” take the money along, it will be of no use there and won’t be available on the market here, if anything, it might counter inflation for a week or two to remove it from Earth.

      Let me introduce you to a show called, For All Mankind. It’s on Apple TV here in Europe, not sure about the rest of the world.

      Spoiler: you get exactly your wish.
