There are questions it becomes in vogue to\u00a0ask celebrities. Would you consider yourself a feminist? What do you think of \u201ccancel culture?\u201d It\u2019s not super productive to spring these types of Q\u2019s on our favorite pop stars, actors, and other performers. It\u2019s kind of a no-win situation for most of them and us. So here\u2019s a humble proposal. Why don\u2019t we ask our most luminous luminaries\u00a0this instead: If given the opportunity, would you want to die in space? Or even better: Would you want to die on Mars with Elon Musk?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elon Musk wants to die on Mars. We know that. He launched a whole company so he could travel there and now he wants to meet his timely end on the red planet too. In 2013, when SpaceX was over a decade old already, he said<\/a> as much at SXSW, \u201cI will go if I can be assured that SpaceX would go on without me . . . I\u2019ve said I want to die on Mars, just not on impact.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cool! That\u2019s one! Now, the mother of two of Musk\u2019s nine children (at last count) is also down to clown (die) in space. Grimes,<\/strong> who also goes by c, as in the speed of light, told\u00a0Wired<\/em><\/a> that she\u2019s into the idea. Wired<\/em> didn\u2019t even ask her if she wanted to die in space. The journalist just asked her if she wanted to go<\/em> to space and she said, \u201cDefinitely. I hope to die in space. I would like to go far enough out there to where my body could not handle coming back. So it would be closer to the end of my life. Maybe 65.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It sounds like she wants to be blasted into space to die right when she reaches about the age she can avail of Social Security benefits. But this is a maybe. She also said she\u2019d die on Mars. \u201cMars would be great,\u201d she said. \u201cI hope there\u2019s a megastructure by then because I would love to see one in space. I\u2019d go out there and live as long as I can until I die.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

She left a couple of caveats, like if her kids need help with their kids, and she\u2019d like to wait until they turn 25 and \u201care good.\u201d Still, that\u2019s not her preference. \u201cI think if I died on Earth, in my last moments I would regret it,\u201d she said, but: \u201cIf I died in space, I would be like, \u2018You\u2019ve lived a great life, you did all the things you wanted to do.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Listen, this might seem bonkers to your average Earthling. At present, space tourism just lets you go up in a big rocket for seven seconds, kiss the sky, and come down again for seven seconds. The idea that in our lifetime, or at least in Grimes\u2019s lifetime, there could be some kind of Martian living situation, is a little out there.<\/em> But you know what? I\u2019m glad these billionaires and the mothers of their children are considering death at all. Some are choosing to try and forgo that bit of the human experience. But these<\/em> mega-rich people? The Grimes and the Musks? The ones that will concede to die at all, if only in space? They\u2019re basically just like us.\u00a0
