at SpaceX Headquarters, I noticed that the red planet prize that every employee walks by to get to the lobby now has the extreme makeover version… a “fixer-upper planet” as Elon describes it… =)

    Mars is going to need a change of address to be so verdant.

    Even so, it should still have polar caps.

    Or does the visioner have in mind to put some big mirrors nearby?

    Hey Steve, this is Caleb from Bluebook Cities. I was wondering if you know more about the person who created this Red Planet design.
