SpaceX announces sending man to Mars (wired.com)

The most important detail was the last paragraph. The actual announcement for the launch of the Falcon 9 is here: http://www.spacex.com/releases/index.html
This is a huge leap forward for SpaceX to make it into space again. SpaceX will still have a large stake in the rocket, but that's a huge leap forward for the whole industry. I wish SpaceX would just stop [... redacted ...] be more aggressive and look at their competitors.
I'm impressed that they have finally addressed the issues with the mission to Mars. I hope this isn't just a marketing push from FB, but a huge PR push.
then this:
I was wondering how they do it: the man is going to be in a position to land on Mars. Maybe not in Mars, but in the atmosphere of the Moon, this would be the most useful thing I have ever seen. And I guess the question is, can it be done with Mars?
then this:
The headline is a bit misleading. Facebook has no plan to send a man to Mars. The article points out that Facebook are planning to send a woman to Mars.
I couldn't help but laugh aloud. Good work!
