Dunno if it's just me, but I enjoyed these far more back when I didn't know what an industrial grade idiot Musk is. Sad really, but it's really taken the shine off it.

Nasa and Kaist just launched a second - Testing Solar Sail technology

Say what you want about his personality, but Elon Musk has helped propel space flight and technology forward.

100% And he joins that other piss loving pioneer who during the early 1940s kindly tested propelled flights with the generous help of London and Coventry.
It is very impressive (if true) but the burning of such vast amounts of fossil fuels in this quest just seems wrong.
Blokes a bell end but things like this advance us technologically. Better than the amount of fossil fuels being used to blow up people in tents, like in other parts of the world.
Absolutely amazing - it looked like something out of Thunderbirds the way that it returned to the launcher. For some reason I now keep thinking of the Smash advert “…and they smash them all to bits…”.
The elephant in the room is that it is stupid to colonize Mars. The soil on Mars is full of toxic chemicals, and its thin carbonic atmosphere whips up worldwide dust storms that blot out the Sun for weeks at a time. It's so terrible that even if Earth became almost uninhabitable because of climate change and nuclear war, it'd still be a better home for us than Mars.
The moon? It is closer but what would people do on the moon that is of use? A colony of robots maybe. If we could find a use for them there. The most exciting space travellers are us, travelling reasonably comfortably on a sphere over vast distances of space at an incredible speed.
Space telescopes where we can see into the beginnings of time are the exciting things. If we got to Mars, which is technically possible, what would be next? Nowhere I suspect.
This being all about Mars, is as correct as the moon landing being purely about the moon. There's literally no way for us to know the technological advances that come from this until they happen. End of the day, if you find a way for civilisation to exist on Mars, surely that means we've found a way to stay here if/when it all goes tits up ?

Why is he a bell end?
Just some of his opinions on things, doesn't take away the things he's part of.

Be able to go watch one yourself in the UK soon enough.
But then again I have just been watching Capricorn One on tv 😃.
Amazing
