Yes. He's nuts.
He'll solve the problem of delivering a colony to Mars, but has anyone
solved the problem of how they'll actually survive on Mars?
We've had trouble with building closed ecosystems on Earth, where the
temperature and pressure are survivable and the air is breathable.
Shouldn't they experiment with a colony in Antarctica or Death Valley
before they worry about launching it all to Mars?
Or is the hope that solving one piece of the puzzle will create a will
to solve the rest of it?
