Musk might find 1 million people willing to go and work there for very good jobs, but someone else would have to pay for the trip and pay them their wages.
They have been paid by NASA to send and return cargo to the International Space Station with excellent results.
I am sure the taxpayers are fine with paying for that. I mean who would not pay 99% income tax in order to find rocks and sand on Mars.
I hope all governments of the world increase their income taxes to 99% in order to achieve this wonderful scientific milestone.
Who is with me?
We could find rocks and sand? You know, there's something to ponder. If you got to Mars and did find some rocks, and some sand. Over the hill, on the other side of the valley you know what there might be?
THere might be more rocks and sand.
There could also be alien pyramids, and underground alien cities.
Humanity might discover it's origins, and we will soon realize that we were created by 13th dimension shapeshifting reptoids from Mars. Now that my friend is worth a 99% tax rate.
