For those of you that don't know, tomorrow will be the first day of the future.
Tomorrow Elon Musk and his team at SpaceX will unveil the much anticipated Mars Colonial Transport now called the Interplanetary Transport System.

I don't have much to say on the matter, the topic has been discussed and debated ad nauseam. I do however have some great starter videos and blogs that can get you all caught up.
1. This is a great blog on all things Elon Musk and Spacex.
2. Looking for something shorter about Elon Musk, get this book.
3. A great youtube video by Josh Sherrington
4. If you are a Reddit fan (forgive me Steemit) google Reddit spacex.
5. pull up this video and watch the countdown.
In my opinion this event will be comparable to the oregon trail, gold rush and the first polar explorers. Yes we will do it. Yes it will be expensive, government will pay for some of it. People will die, and it could result in a Donner party chow hall. Yes we should fix this world along with expanding the human territory. @alexbeyman explains it perfectly in this recent post. I always welcome debates on this topic but know this, I will go to Mars if given the chance. I feel this will be a great opportunity to be part of histories great adventure. Just think about how cool it would be to post your adventures on steemit and share with everyone how cool it is, or how much it sucks. You could be the first steemit billionaire.
