It’s like he asked the engineers “what’s the hardest part of sending people to
Mars” and they said “bringing them back” and so he said “don’t do that”.
Also, who does he think is going to pay for this? Is he going to charge people
to be colonists? He must be assuming the government will pick up the tab.
Unless like everything else in the Internet age, he is counting on advertising
and data mining.

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?
