"It was much too big and fantastical," said Robert Zubrin, president and
founder of Mars Society, a non-profit that promotes human settlement of
Mars.

Musk's proposal for getting a million people to Mars as quickly as possible
was, Zubrin said, "like a D-Day landing." Instead, Musk should be thinking
of sending just ten people to set up an agricultural base, Zubrin said.

"Then send 20 more people and so forth to develop capabilities to make
steel and eventually create institutions like schools."

"He typically goes into something with over-reach," Zubrin added, referring
to Musk's tendency to over-promise with many of his projects, including
delivery dates of Teslas and the progress of The Boring Company, drilling a
subterranean Los Angeles commuter tunnel.

"But he's able to take criticism and adjust things to become achievable,"
said Zubrin.

Perhaps this group needs to send a delegation to Elon Musk to get him
interested in Space Habs :-)
