Elon Musk: In Seven Years, SpaceX Could Land Humans on Mars
One year after announcing an intrepid plan that he claimed could put a million people on Mars by the 2060s, Elon Musk is fine-tuning his roadmap for putting humans on the red planet.
In a somewhat disjointed presentation at the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia, Musk outlined an edited version of his original scheme. His final vision didn’t change much, but he did highlight revisions to a planned 42-engine rocket Musk has nicknamed the BFR, as well as a vague proposal to pay for that rocket by using it to deliver satellites into orbit and to service the International Space Station.

Tongue Twister
Sounds - / f/
There was a fisherman named Fisher
who fished for some fish in a fissure.
Till a fish with a grin,
pulled the fisherman in.
Now they’re fishing the fissure for Fisher.
Жил на свете рыбак по имени Фишер,
Который ловил рыбу трещине.
Но какая-то рыба с усмешкой,
затянула рыбака в воду.
И сейчас люди ловят в трещине Фишера.

Joke about Europe😂
The financial situation in Europe is not easy. But people in Europe still keep their humour and they are making jokes about it. This is one of them.
A Greek man, a Spanish man and a Portuguese man are sitting in a restaurant. They have a good time, they drink, they joke and they laugh with girls. It is a good party. At the end of the party someone asks a question,
“Who is going to pay for all the drinks?”
The three men say in one voice, “The Germans.”
