    Can we just lie about Mars? Instead deport Cringe Elon and all the other billionaries into the depths of space.

      I think Mars would be fun, I would even set him up, obviously not alone that would be cruel, with Bezos, that English asshole with the space comany too at a minimum. But Thiel and Yarvin too for sure, all the silicon valley billionaire parasites. Send them out to Mars with a legitimate attempt at landing and eking a living on Mars.

      Hook them up with livestreaming capabilities so they could share their insights on the way, then let them try (and fail because not a fucking chance,) all on television, pay per view even for the good parts.

      It would make great television, talk about reality tv. In fact, every year, or whatever, we should lottery the super rich, grab some, and shoot them into space to explore or colonize some planet or moon. With their livestream, enough supplies, all of that. It would do wonders for tax compliance.

        When you put that way, it would be funny to watch a bunch of billionaries fail horribly because of their delusions of being the only ones able to build civilization.
