The SpaceX founder has plans for a colony the size of a small city, just as soon as he works out a few niggling details — you know, like battling massive radiation exposure during the trip, how to land on the planet's surface and how to keep everyone alive once they arrive. No word on whether Obama's signed up for the journey, but if not, that would put serious distance between you and the POTUS if you're still unhappy with the election results. [Source]
