Surviving on Mars is hard, as we've learned in The Martian and pretty much every other sci-fi movie that takes place on Mars. One way to make the Red Planet more livable is to make it more like home--by firing off nuclear warheads there. Or at least that's what SpaceX CEO Elon Musk seemed to suggest when he went on Stephen Colbert's show last month.

Well, today, during an event about solar panels (designed by a different Musk-run company), the billionaire supervillain clarified his idea to terraform Mars. He doesn't want to bomb Mars. He just wants to bomb the sky above Mars every few seconds. Mashable reports:

"What I was talking about," said Musk, "was having a series of very large, by our standards, but very small by calamity standards--essentially having two tiny pulsing suns over the poles."

Is that what all the solar panels are for, Elon Musk?
