This tech is for planes. Electric engines with batteries. Also hydrogen to make electricity for larger planes (hasn't been done for large passenger planes but proven on small 6 passenger planes).
Toyota is banking on the hydrogen engine. Hydrogen +oxygen = water. So no environmental effects, just planes pissing out water wherever they fly. A farmer could have his own solar/wind, with water he can make hydrogen and store the hydrogen to use on his machines. The summer sun, helps to heat the barn in winter with stored hydrogen.

Tesla is banking on batteries. For Elon it was the efficiency of energy transfer.

The best batteries that is commericial is the lithium ion phosphate batteries. They tend to be safer than just reg lithium ion batteries.
The future for batteries is:

The battery that seem to have the most potential is the solid state batteries.

Hydrogen powered airplanes, would be an even more desirable mechanism for terrorists to deliver pure carnage.

So much negativity!
I suppose you want to just sit over a carbon burning based smokestack, just like you do a bong.... breathing in the foul air..... Hydrogen burning only produces water (H2O) as its by product.
People like Vancouver to go into nature and breath the clean air.
Would there be terrorism if the western world didn't bomb them into submission. Western policy has been to take and take and not give back, not help advance natives in resource rich parts of the world (where there is oil and minerals).... They rebelled and try to take back their resources, and superior tech came in and killed the trouble makers with collateral damage to civilian populations. Its why muslims hate the US.

Unfortunately the world runs on oil. We stupid humans burn it. Its wealth/promise is to make things like plastics, lightweight material for clothing and houses etc. But we end up burning it. Creating mass CO2.

There is no doubt that burning fossil fuels has contributed to rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

https://www.climate.gov/news-featur...ate/climate-change-atmospheric-carbon-dioxide

A hydrogen economy for the future is stable and won't contribute to making CO2.

There are more people on earth today then in ancient or medieval times (8 billion in 2024) Everyone wants his own share of the pie, a car, a house. 2nd and 3rd world countries are now burning fossil fuels at a tremendous rate trying to catch up with the 1st World countries (Western Europe and north America).

Don't really want to sit still 6 to 8 months on a trip to Mars. Or eat from toothpaste tubes either.

Didn't Columbus and his crews suffer from scurvy??
The future is Skynet/Cyberdyne Systems.Their AI and robotics are really going to help humanity in the future.
The thing I like about Science Fiction, is that Authors can talk about problems that society could face with new technology. Issac Asimov came up with the laws of robotics.
The thing about technology is that it should be tested in labs first before unleashing it to the public or on the internet.

but yes there is always a mad fucked up scientist who is ready to fuck the world because his girlfriend left him......

But you get to spend some serious time with this guy.

His plan to go to Mars is a shoe-string budget. Small tight compact quarters and rooms, without gravity assist to keep people healthy (gravity).
It should be more like the movie Martian. There were bases set up before the astronauts arrived, and even had supplies on mars (escape rocket) for the next manned mission.
The thing to do would be to put several orbiting stations around earth at different heights. Also stations for the moon. Then build several moon-bases. If its easier to launch to mars from the moons orbit, build more infrastructure in the moons orbit.

A trip to mars would have to have orbiting stations around mars, with the ability to recover people from the surface of mars. Also mars bases with redundant buildings and heating and water facilities, along with 2-4 agriculture buildings.
Everything has to be gigantically sized for space.

the biggest thing people will encounter is inactive biological bateria; which could turn out to be bad for humans.

The problem with sending humans into space is that it has a gigantic cost on resources that could be better used in sending robots instead.

But even before anything happens, the question of how to create a stable and breathable atmosphere on Mars needs to be answered.

And the idiocy of destroying this planet by billionaires bullshit 'profit uber alles' instead of looking at reasonable sustainability instead is literally insane.

Finally, the lunacy of the Catholic Church and its stance on 'no birth control/abortion' has exasperated this problem to the point where a pandemic that kills half the human race still won't solve the environmental problems we face.

If 8 billion people is a problem just imagine what 16 billion will look like.

The resources to get one billionaire to Mars should be used to hand out free vasectomies and a bucket of money for every guy that would get one. Still won't solve the problem but it would maybe slow things down.

I highly doubt that we reach 10 Billion let alone 16 billion.
Our population is on decline with the rate of decline expected to accelerate to rates that make any inclination rates seem small.

Everything else you mention, I agree with.

I don't think his goal is Mars. I think its the asteroid field. Bring back asteriods with metals to earth.
Muslims and people in Africa have higher birth rates then the western world (Europe and North America). Poorer people have more kids in the likely hood that the kids will look after them in their old age. Here in the west we put old people into prisons call care homes.

So what you're saying is that it basically isn't really worth the trip.

Harbour Air in richmond has an eBeaver using the magni-x motor, its the tip of the iceberg when it comes to 0 emission aviation, the improvements will come exponentially quickly.
Things like super capacitors [which is being used in Indycars], higher density batteries, solar panels [think "solar Impulse " aircraft], all makes the electrification of aviation inevitable
