The [tunnel’s] accelerants cure the grout that seals the tunnel’s concrete supports, helping the grout set properly and protecting the work against cracks and other deterioration. They also seriously burn exposed human skin. At the Encore dig site, such burns became almost routine, workers there told Nevada’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration. An investigation by the state OSHA, which Bloomberg Businessweek has obtained via a freedom of information request, describes workers being scarred permanently on their arms and legs. According to the investigation, at least one employee took a direct hit to the face. In an interview with Businessweek, one of the tunnel workers recalls the feeling of exposure to the chemicals: “You’d be like, ‘Why am I on fire?’”
No one is colonizing anything.

Kind of ironic that video has an ad for a “mental hygiene” app… when a good first step would be not watching that sort of videos… but let’s go point by point:
Terraforming: red herring. Musk doesn’t have plans for that, so less BS.Mars One: red herring. Not a Musk project, scammy from the beginning. That’s two totally BS points.It’s a risky plan, but still a plan.
Wow! You really believe all the lies Musk says? This is the same guy who has been promising ‘full software driving’ next year for nearly a decade, fantasizing about downloading human memory engrams, insisting that hyperloop is ‘not so hard’ and says things like ‘I know more about manufacturing than anyone else alive’.
How much knowledge does it take to realize that 100 people per starship is simply impossible? There simply isn’t enough room. And read your statement about underground dwellings and sunlight times together to see how they’re incompatible. Musk isn’t saying all these because he’s a dreaming visionary. He’s saying these to trick other rich people into giving him more money. It has the same vibes as the monorail song.
It’s also the same guy deciding to build reusable self-landing rockets, or place 40,000 satellite in orbit.
He’s a working visionary. Some of his visions are shit, doesn’t mean all of them are.
The problem with people who “know it’s impossible”, is things like not realizing Starship is a ground-to-orbit delivery system, or that living in a cave is not the same as never leaving the cave, or the issue with not having access to power sources for extended periods of time in places where air supply depends on it.
LOL! SpaceX doesn’t do those things because of him. They do it despite him. They even have special procedures and meetings to stoke master Elon’s ego and trick him into agreeing with them. Elon is a fictional visionary, not a working one. It doesn’t take half decent knowledge of physics to recognize the nonsense he spouts.
What absurd opening logic. The first person is a rocket engineer. He doesn’t just play Kerbel Space, he designs rockets.
The schematics for Starship allows for at best 15-20 people. Supplies are a thing. The ability for humans to travel & survive for this distance is not established at all, nor is the ability to build structures, grow food, supply air & water, etc
This confident nonsense is like discussing reality with an Iraq War Cheerleader Circa 2004-2007 .
There’s no plan. To get to the Moon, Starship itself requires ~-15 refueling launches using a method that doesn’t exist, despite the taxpayers giving the company 300+ million dollars to develop it.
It’s a ragebait video.
No point in continuing it then.
