(In this case, I mean the Musk “Starship”, which he just tweeted as renders on both the Moon and Mars.)
There was a time the man didn’t want anything to do with the Moon. Dat man, he be maturing…
I’m reasonably certain I don’t have to label these “Moon” and “Mars”. The audience at BW.com is somewhat more sophisticated than certain members of the US Congress.
I hope I live long enough to see real photos of these.

Oooh–I’m getting flashbacks to my childhood, which were filled with the speculative space art of the 60s and 70s, when moon and Mars colonies seemed like they might be right around the corner…
Well, by gosh and by golly, they may be right around the corner now, finally. Musk has admitted that he’s influenced by that art — if there’s many ways to design a thing, he’ll pick the one that looks like it came off of a Robert A Heinlein book cover.
This is how it goes. The future is imagined by writers and artists, then we raise a crop of engineers who grew up with it, then we find some guy with money and build it. Kewl system, actually.
