Stop lying about what Musk is doing and about what I have said.

The facts didn't support your claim so now you just lie. Typical
Mookie.

You're the one making **** up. I'm merely quoting Musk.

Question: How do you COLONISE a place? Answer: You go and STAY THERE? D'uh!
Question: Does Musk intend to colonise Mars? Answer: Yes.

So by your definition the New World was never colonized, since there
was two way traffic BY COLONISTS almost from day one.

Quit making **** up. The new world was colonised because MOST people never returned. Had the governments of the time insisted that everyone and their dog be returned on demand, the new world would never had been able to afford colonising. Now, translatlantic travel in the 17th 18th and 19th centuries had costs that added. Mars travel has delta vee that adds and with chemical rockets, that means costs multiply! The disparity is greater for Mars colonisation than for the new world three hundred years ago. This is why Mars One is promoting one way trips and why SpaceX is accepting of that. It makes all the difference.
