Great piece about why it’s impossible to ‘colonise’ Mars - but, more pertinently, what it reveals about Musk, i.e. his eugenic worldview

The truth is nobody should care how many protein coding genes there are. The gene is a useful abstraction that loses its utility when defined precisely enough to count.
Exactly how many protein-coding genes are there in the human genome? The truth is no one knows. The numbers change based on what database you use as reference.
