Every time I point out a problem with Musk's Mars plans I just get "reuseable rockets bro!" thrown at me. There is no point in arguing with these imbeciles, they think reuseable rockets will solve every problem in space travel ever. Musk hasn't even reused a rocket yet FFS.
The whole thing has pretty much become pied piper-tier now. Legions of neckbeards unhappy with their mundane lives believing that this one man will get them an exciting life on another planet. It's all faith, BFR, MCT are all dreams. No maths to back any of it up, cancellation upon cancellation of even the Falcon Heavy. If I ask how is it going to make it 225,000,000 km? I get the reply "it will be really big!" and if I ask how is it going to get there for less than $100 billion? I get the reply "It will be resueable!". That's it, that's the entirety of SpaceX's plan to get to Mars. May as well wait for Jesus to take you there.
what gives you the credit to point out the problems with Musk's Mars plans?
Falcon heavy was not canceled or delayed
They chose not to work on it because there was no market demand for it
They haven't reused rockets yet because they are limited on launch rates and want to study the landed stages/make sure theres no damage.
Possibly they didn't have extra stage 2's at the time either.

You see, the issue here is that you're so fucking autistic you can't tell a joke from a serious reply. Retardos like you are everywhere is science and engineering so normal people catch on how to fuck with dumb shits like you pretty fast. Its quite funny seeing some autistic pleb squirm as his personal little world is crushed by people pretending to care about a spergs tiny little issues.

>how is it going to make it 225,000,000 km?
Big-sounding number distances aren't a problem in space. If your argument is "the distance from Earth to Mars is a big-sounding number, therefore this is impossible", and you think that's an argument worth making, you're probably too stupid to understand when someone tries to explain to you.
>how is it going to get there for less than $100 billion?
Where would you even get the idea that a single rocket launch would cost over $100 billion?
The whole Apollo program cost about $100 billion. When they had to invent everything, using 1960s technology (their best integrated circuit was a dual three-input NOR gate), as a rush job to discredit the Soviets, as an inefficient government program with lots of profiteering ticks attached.
The feasibility of the Mars plan comes down to: automation, reuse, advanced technology, economies of scale.

first of all the apollo program's IC contribution was massive. that NOR gate was a THOR gate.

You are even more deluded than they are if you think that such a group of people don't actually exist

Reusable rockets launch payload into LEO cheaply and cost effectively.
MCT assembled in LEO from these payload components.
Now assembled shipped leaves LEO for Mars.
