Fries is just as confident about the eye-watering price Musk wants for a trip to Mars. “I’m slapping down my hundred grand as soon as that fortune a Nigerian prince left me arrives. The future is so bright, I need sunglasses.”

    All other earthlike planets (and I’m presuming we’re only really intending to go to those) are planets that perhaps will support life in a billion or a trillion years.

    Be able to support life, or actually spontaneously create and support life?

    Because right now, from everything we know about Mars, there seems to be extremely little chance of life ever being able to evolve before the Sun’s aging makes it uninhabitable by anything.

      How will we know if there is indigenous life on Mars if we contaminate Mars. Indeed, we might have done this already.
