Wow! You really believe all the lies Musk says? This is the same guy who has been promising 'full software driving' next year for nearly a decade, fantasizing about downloading human memory engrams, insisting that hyperloop is 'not so hard' and says things like 'I know more about manufacturing than anyone else alive'.
How much knowledge does it take to realize that 100 people per starship is simply impossible? There simply isn't enough room. And read your statement about underground dwellings and sunlight times together to see how they're incompatible. Musk isn't saying all these because he's a dreaming visionary. He's saying these to trick other rich people into giving him more money. It has the same vibes as the monorail song.
It's also the same guy deciding to build reusable self-landing rockets, or place 40,000 satellite in orbit.
He's a working visionary. Some of his visions are shit, doesn't mean all of them are.
The problem with people who "know it's impossible", is things like not realizing Starship is a ground-to-orbit delivery system, or that living in a cave is not the same as never leaving the cave, or the issue with not having access to power sources for extended periods of time in places where air supply depends on it.
LOL! SpaceX doesn't do those things because of him. They do it despite him. They even have special procedures and meetings to stoke master Elon's ego and trick him into agreeing with them. Elon is a fictional visionary, not a working one. It doesn't take half decent knowledge of physics to recognize the nonsense he spouts.
