This is true, but you'll also see a lot of investment scams by internet famous people, like funding a space company on the lies of Mars colonies

900 tons to orbit just this year isnt a scam.

Of those 900 tons, how many will be used to get humans to Mars?

What, you think one can just snap their fingers and be done with a project like that? Its something thats never been done before. No need to be so disingenuous.

SpaceX is a private company, it's not taking investment from internet people.

Furthermore, its Mars goals are IMO the least revolutionary part of what the Starship program is working toward.

Investment scams from internet people. And I said scam like promising Mars colonization. I did not use the term revolutionary. Scam.
