Mars may not be just a frozen rock. It might be a frozen rock with long-dormant viruses and microbial life. Stuff that can mutate quickly once warmed up. All the ingredients are there. It doesn't even need to be DNA based to naturally select its way towards human infection. So please Elmo, go live on Mars with your techno bros, and all your usual caution.

I love the monorail song! Dr. Seuss predicted Il Douche as well in "The Sneetches: "My name is Sylvester McMonkey McBean. And I've heard of your troubles. I've heard you're unhappy. But I can fix that. I'm the Fix-it-Up Chappie." I would add, I think I thunk a thought that Elon hadn't bought: you build your Spruce Goose while I drink some Seuss Juice! I think events in Syria and Romania and Brazil portend Ill tidings for Il douche.
