Mr. E Musk, US owner of SpaceX, Tesla and Twitter companies, offers tourist trips to planet Mars on his spacecrafts. The one-way trip takes 200 days, so after take off Earth you have to spend 200 days in space looking out of a window, etc. After landing Mars you have to spend some time there to await the return trip, when Mars and Earth are suitably lined up. Then the return trip can start, which takes only 199 days as Sun gravity pulls you back. Musk has sold plenty trips so there is a waiting list.
Do you have a link to this plan from Elon?
I'm not sure people should trust Elon on the subject of anything these days. Elon only cares about Elon
Mars would be a one way trip. But even so, as evidenced by the hoax 'Mars One' project, there are no shortage of twerps who would rush for the suicide mission. Actually, calling it a 'mission' is generous. Without any infrastructure or materials that have already been dropped off ahead of humans arrival, you will last until your oxygen supply runs out.
Also, why would anyone go colonise a planet where Elon memed and sold T-shirts of 'Nuke Mars'. - Without understanding how ridiculous than plan was even in the context of starting a greenhouse effect and melting the ice caps. (you would need about 3500 nukes every day for 7 weeks LOL). Not only that, it would turn the planet into a radioactive wasteland. It only showed how science illiterate he is. But people lap it up because people are dumbarse twerps (or yanks)
A 200 day trip is not an insurmountable challenge. Geez, when the British sailed convicts to Australia that trip was over 250 days and those prisoners were chained, whipped and malnourished. I dont think they had decent toilet facilities either or had much chance to see above deck for fresh air. By comparison, a 200 day journey in a space capsule would be far less stressful
