A quick calculation to check feasibility:

Static propeller thrust T = ³√(P² ✕ η² ✕ Η² ✕ π ✕ (d²/2) ✕ ρ)

Where:

T is thrust in Newtons P is power of motor in Watts η is propeller efficiency, 1 is perfect Η is motor efficiency, 1 is perfect d is propeller diameter in meters ρ is air density in kg/m³

Known numbers:

P = 350 W, or 175 W per rotor (a simplification, but close enough) d = 1.2 m ρ = 0.013 kg/m³ at Mars' surface

Using typical efficiencies for propellers and motors:

η = 0.75 Η = 0.9

Mass of helicopter in Mars' gravity is 0.68 kg.

Using these numbers for one rotor:

T = ³√(30625 ✕ 0.56 ✕ 0.81 ✕ 3.14 ✕ 0.72 ✕ 0.013) ≈ 7.4 N

7.4 N is around 0.75 kg of thrust for a single rotor - more than the helicopter's weight on Mars. So with both rotors it'll have more than enough thrust to fly there.

There's a lot of planets out there bro. In a few generations we could be off this good for nothing rock and on a new planet without any of the bullshit politics except the bullshit politics we bring with us.

Elon's working toward it and given his history running from the blacks in South Africa I think its one of his secret motives.

Remember he left a country that was being or going to be overrun by blacks. He lived it.
