Joe Rogan and Elon Musk talk about Mars and aliens
In Elon Musk's latest appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the UFC mainstay asked the Tesla CEO how long it would be before a human civilization could thrive on Mars.
Elon Musk answered:
"The threshold that really matters for getting past the great filter is: do we have enough resources on Mars, such that if the space ships from Earth stop coming, can we survive?... You've got to have all the things necessary to sustain civilization on Mars."
Later in the podcast, the two men discussed the existence of alien life in the universe. Musk told the podcast host that there is no direct evidence to validate the presence of any alien life on Earth.

Rogan further asked Musk whether aliens would want us to know if they really existed, to which Musk jokingly replied:
"I don't know man, for a real civilization they sure are subtle. I mean, if they wanted us to know, obviously they could just show up and walk around main street."
