Of course, life on Mars is going to be a constant minute to minute challenge for survival, and there is no golden parachute over there if things go badly.
He will never go.
And, you know, even if everything works out, all plans that have been suggested for now are one-way trips. I know there are a few people who'd be ready for that, I doubt Musk is one of them.
I can see there being one secret escape pod for the crew of like 12 or so. It would be called The Golden Parachute. And as soon as the slightest problem occurs, he jumps into that shit and rockets back to earth.
Is there not some scientific thing where a human can remain conscious for 10-30 seconds when exposed on Mars unlike the moon/space which is just an instant death? I think he'd have time to get back into the ship
You actually could have a couple seconds in the hard vacuum of space before you pass out. I've even heard it's more hypoxia that you would die from in space and you should be able to be revived if the exposure was less than a minute or something.
Mars should be less deadly, as long as the sun isn't visible. (No magnetosphere = deadly solar radiation)
The eggheads claim that ingesting repulsion gel causes random, explosive, uncontrollable and agonizing diarrhea. So I told them to figure it out; how are we supposed to sell this stuff as a water substitute with that holding us back?!

Can I just say, I don't think Elon Musk would EVER go to Mars. He wants to be on Earth to say "See look, I sent people to Mars".

Not sure, maybe he is willing to give up all of that, including possibly his own life, to be in history books forever as the first person on Mars.

I don't think he's healthy enough to even attempt the journey lol

The solar radiation is a long term problem, like not having food. Having no air is a tiny bit more of a "right now" problem.
Solving Long Term Problems, part 4d:
Take off your helmet, eat some
moonmars rocks. Have your crewmates revive you and put your helmet back on. Chew, swalloe.We don't know what happens after that but you might be OK. If you are hungry enough to eat a planet, you're hungry enough for science.

Can't tell if this is an actual Cave Johnson line or not
I think the that’s a beauty of the unhinged beauty of Cave Johnson
Maybe with the bouncy moon rock jelly acting as a diet thing
