How could Space X even afford fund a mission to Mars? There is no way that can be profitable .

What they are doing now is cool but they are still a business which offers a launch services at a competitive price and a satellite internet provider themselves. How does an exceptionally expensive (especially in this financial environment) Mars mission fit into that.

I highly doubt Space X could ever realistically get to Mars before NASA. Artemis seems way more promising than SpaceX as far as manned space flight is concerned.

How could SpaceX fund a mission to Mars? Honestly it sounds whack but I bet Musk could easily crowd fund it.

He could have spent the money he paid on Twitter on it. Return on investment likely wouldn’t be much lower…
