Probably just pack the pressurized space with cargo. Early missions will be heavily weighted towards cargo. First crewed mission would have about a dozen people, as the goal will be to build out and troubleshoot the propellant plant and Mars Base Alpha power system.

on the upside that means that his shitposting account has not been uncovered yet

no, but I can tell you I’m very much looking forward to the day he ends up bankrupt or in prison

one of these might happen and it won't matter because once you're rich you get to remain rich even after multiple bankruptcies

when tesla goes bankrupt its creditors will sue musk personally and he probably skimped on the insurance that would usually cover those lawsuits

Ah yes, the quaint American racism.

What a dumb thing to write.

in comparison to european racism, yes

in america there are large groups of people who are actively and directly challenging racism even in the face of mounting resistance from the tech industry and other classic sources of white supremacy

in europe stadiums full of tens of thousands of people chant racist songs at poc players and even the most leftist parties will pursue actively racist policies against immigrants and romani

i guess it varies between different EU countries but in most of them chanting racist slogans would get you arrested (whether or not people can do it as part of a crowd and hide behind anonymity aside)

The first concentration camps were the US in the Philippines in 1899. Beat out the Brits (Boer War, 1900) and all.

There’s enough racism to go around for everyone, let’s not argue about whose racism is quainter or any such nonsense.

there's a butcher's shop just off the viktualienmarkt in munich that specialises in horse meat, i had a pferdewurst there. it was ok but honestly i don't think i'd have known it was horse if i hadn't bought it in a place that only sells that

I assume the same reason dudes like hotlanta man don't get banned from games and SAS. because it's less drama to just not engage with them.

in cat's cradle, the mystic bokonon is officially a persecuted outlaw on the island of San lorenzo. the government threatens to execute his followers with the gruesome hook. In reality, bokononism and the civil government were in bed together and the persecution was actually very mild - bokononism just needed to be an outlaw faith in order to retain its mystical allure

stymie is bokonon and the mods are the government. follow bokonon openly and *whack* - you get the hook. but they will mysteriously never be able to ban stymie
