Posted on September 11, 2022 by daryan12

Posted on August 21, 2020 by daryan12

I came across this video series from a Vlogger (common sense sceptic) critiquing Elon Musk’s Mars programme and his plans for a Mars colony. I would give it a look, its actually quite informative. They also look at the Gateway … Continue reading →
