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?
