Investors in @SpaceX should know that the company's incentives encourage them to build “a permanent human colony on Mars with at least one million inhabitants”... WITHIN MUSK'S LIFETIME. As a scientist I can tell you that's not just unrealistic, it would be unethical.

This OpEd by @FuSchmu and me, out today in @HoustonChron, explains why @SpaceX investors should read the fine print in its IPO paperwork.

[Dr. Kelly Weinersmith @FuSchmu]

.@ScottESolomon and I wrote an Opinion piece for the @HoustonChron aboutt SpaceX's IPO. It massively incentivizes Musk to get 1 million people on Mars in ~30 years. We won't know if it's safe for 1 million people to be on Mars on that timeline.

SpaceX's IPO day is a good time to mention @ZachWeiner & I wrote "A City on Mars"* abt the problems & perils associated w/settling Mars. A million people on Mars can't safely be done in Musk's lifetime
