  Because of course he is.  
  
  Gonna hop in one of his SpaceX rockets and probably not come back.
  
  Errm... Please don't?  Stay?
  
  In a recent interview with HBO he claimed that there's a 70% chance he'll make the trip, but with technological limitations being what they are, he might have to stay and work “non-stop to build the base”, with “not much time for leisure."
  
  Poor sausage. But go on... "And even after doing all this, it’s a very harsh environment. So … there’s a good chance you die there. We think you can come back but we’re not sure. Now, does that sound like an escape hatch for rich people?”
  
  It does not. Explorers gonna explore though, aren't they?
  
  Man like Shackleton; "Really the ad for going to Mars would be like Shackleton’s ad for going to the Antarctic. It’s gonna be hard. There’s a good chance of death, going in a little can through deep space," or your Everest lads; "There’s lots of people who climb mountains. People die on Mount Everest all the time. They like doing it for the challenge" - total kindred spirits.  Hundo percent.
  
  Except Musk is gonna be doing it in space. Which, needless to say, automatically makes him the coolest and most bad-ass.

  I never quite know what to make of Musk. I like anyone will to go into the unknown and make scientific endeavour because that's what the species has always needed but then something about him annoys me. I can't quite put my finger on it but there's something.

  I used to really like and respect Elon Musk. I had never seen him do anything that wasn't impressive in some way. Then he seemed to lose his mind over this paedophile thing. I have no idea what happened or why his ego was so damaged but he lost a lot of credibility over that and by doubling down when asked to apologise. A real shame
