If BO and SX are in a race...then both have lost because the original Running Man was already filmed on mars, geez!! But I'll tell you what has not been done, I have yet to see a man lick his own elbow🤔🤔, this is something that MUST be addressed and soon, it would be an embarrassment to meet an advanced alien civilization and not be able to do this as proof of our superiority!!

Yeah, but can SpaceX pretend to send a bunch of irrelevant celebrities into non-orbit while they do cringy stuff before pretending to safely land them back?

How did you came to the conclusion that BO is going faster than SpaceX to Mars.
What BO has done is taking in space a satellite from NASA, they are just a delivery tool until the earth orbit, from that point NASA fly's them self. What SpaceX wants is fully self organised.
So you're conclusion in this article is wrong.
