More about Musk's Mars design... and how to tweak it!


Really, Jalopnik? That place is *not* where you want to go for sound

The proposed "tweaks" increase complexity greatly, while reducing the
size of the transport ship. This is just stupid. Cost scales closely
with complexity, but only loosely with size.
