Elon Musk: “We’re going straight to Mars. The Moon is a distraction.”

He's already on a different planet!
By all means send him to Mars (one way ticket) and good riddance!
It might, but probably won't.
It wasn't exactly positive.
Why would they bother?
Columbus didn't expect to discover America - he though the earth was smaller than Eratosthenes had worked it out to around 300BC and that he'd get to China. Most people at time correctly though that he was nuts.
It was an expensive stunt, very attention-getting at the time - I watched it while I was doing the final tidying up on my Ph.D. thesis.
The US is working on going back there, but with rather more emphasis on finding out useful information.
He's too busy cultivating Donald Trump to bother.
I beg to differ. I particularly like the way he and Don are interfering (constructively) in British politics. Playing the Globalists at their own game! :-D
Yeah they're playing someone, alright..
Musk seems promising, but he has a history of not delivering.
It could perhaps take somebody to Mars, but keeping them alive there for any length of time would require a whole sequence of very expensive trips.
Traveling there is just half the story.
