Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Can I just say, I don't think Elon Musk would EVER go to Mars. He wants to be on Earth to say "See look, I sent people to Mars".
Of course, life on Mars is going to be a constant minute to minute challenge for survival, and there is no golden parachute over there if things go badly. He will never go.
And, you know, even if everything works out, all plans that have been suggested for now are one-way trips. I know there are a few people who'd be ready for that, I doubt Musk is one of them.
Not sure, maybe he is willing to give up all of that, including possibly his own life, to be in history books forever as the first person on Mars.
I can see there being one secret escape pod for the crew of like 12 or so. It would be called The Golden Parachute. And as soon as the slightest problem occurs, he jumps into that shit and rockets back to earth.
