Since your handle is “Whole Mars”, perhaps this lengthy reply is apropos:
Getting the cost per ton to the surface of Mars low enough that humanity has the resources to make life multiplanetary requires a roughly 1000X improvement in rocket & spacecraft technology.
Recent US Mars missions have had a cost per ton of useful load to the surface of Mars of about $1B. Moreover, it has become more, not less, expensive over time!
To build a city on Mars that can grow by itself likely requires at least a million tons of equipment, which would therefore require >$1000 trillion, an obviously impossible number, given that US GDP is only $29T.
However, if rocket technology can be improved by 1000X, then the cost of becoming sustainably multiplanetary would drop to ~$1T, which could be spread out over 40 or more years, so <$25B/year.
At that cost, it becomes possible to make life multiplanetary, ensuring the long-term survival of life as we know it, without materially affecting people’s standard of living on Earth.
Starship is designed to achieve a >1000X improvement over existing systems and, especially after yesterday’s booster catch and precise ocean landing of the ship, I am now convinced that it can work.

For Canada, it means the Foreign-born share of the population increases from 24% in 2016 to ~34% by the time Trudeau gets voted out in Oct 2025.
Including children with 2 foreign parents? That's Half

Many people see a success and incorrectly assume the people behind it thought it was guaranteed.
Watching the launch tower catch Starship I was reminded of this article from 15 years ago which illustrates resolve in the face of uncertainty.
Worth a read!

Amazing performance by @starlink during Flight 5 - with coverage aggregated across all terminals on the ship and booster, only 20 ms of outage on the 66 min flight (>99.999% uptime). Now using very similar software to serve rockets as we do to serve airplanes.

We still don’t know anything about:

— the affidavit claiming the debate was rigged
— we don’t have the 60 minutes transcript
