Can I just say, I don't think Elon Musk would EVER go to Mars. He wants to be on Earth to say "See look, I sent people to Mars".

Of course, life on Mars is going to be a constant minute to minute challenge for survival, and there is no golden parachute over there if things go badly. He will never go.
And, you know, even if everything works out, all plans that have been suggested for now are one-way trips. I know there are a few people who'd be ready for that, I doubt Musk is one of them.
Is that Elron Moose?
When? Sooner than later plz!

This one simple trick...
Is there not some scientific thing where a human can remain conscious for 10-30 seconds when exposed on Mars unlike the moon/space which is just an instant death? I think he'd have time to get back into the ship
You actually could have a couple seconds in the hard vacuum of space before you pass out. I've even heard it's more hypoxia that you would die from in space and you should be able to be revived if the exposure was less than a minute or something.
Mars should be less deadly, as long as the sun isn't visible. (No magnetosphere = deadly solar radiation)
The solar radiation is a long term problem, like not having food. Having no air is a tiny bit more of a "right now" problem.
Solving Long Term Problems, part 4d:
Take off your helmet, eat some ~~moon~~ mars rocks. Have your crewmates revive you and put your helmet back on. Chew, swalloe.
We don't know what happens after that but you might be OK. If you are hungry enough to eat a planet, you're hungry enough for science.
