Tyson is probably right- I imagine the economics won't work out well in the end.
It's still freakin awesome that someone like Elon is willing to risk their fortune to try it though... we need the dreamers.
Tyson would not be getting shat on if he had worded his skepticism in a more encouraging way.
As our gov continue to rack up debt into bankruptcy it might be harder to justify in the future.

Well did you see Larry Page come out and say he would rather leave his fortune to Elon to go to Mars over charity?!

Yup, and not surprising... charities are terrible at capital allocation while Elon is the best entrepreneur perhaps ever.

Charities are like government. Very inefficient, and then you wonder where the funds have gone. Its just a matter of time before all of the charities have some kind of scandal.
