Talk:1583: NASA Press Conference

I think the alt image text refers to the Elon Musk's idea of Mars colonization with nuclear bombs This that (talk) 10:00, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Yep! I suppose that too.--Complynx (talk) 10:33, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Um, Musk didn't suggest colonizing with nuclear bombs. (Lots of Little Boy bombs on Mars running around with their moms and dads?) He said nuking the poles would be a fast way to get Mars warmer and more Earth-like so it could be colonized with people. - Equinox 108.162.238.178 14:10, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

And we realize he was throwing it out there as a terrible hypothetically quick way of making Mars habitable. He is not olanning on doing that in any way. He is lookibg at making it habitable, but he does say it will take quite a long time to make it happen. Many, many years with biodomes. I know this doesn't change what is saidnin the comic, but let's all realize he's not planning on actually doing it.

the star wars thing should be explained. i realise that the possibility of anyone who doesn't already know caring at all is pretty small, but this is explain xkcd after all. (https://youtu.be/g6PDcBhODqo?t=93 scene?)--141.101.98.34 11:52, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, but what were they really trying to accomplish? I've never questioned this before. I feel so alone and incomplete.... Puck0687 (talk) 15:37, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
