Today, noted space cadet (in every sense of the phrase) Elon Musk revealed his plan to colonize Mars. He also basically told us to prepare to die for him. Cool idea, Elon! 
 
 “The risk of fatality will be high,” Musk told the audience in Guadalajara, Mexico, of the SpaceX mission to the Red Planet. “There’s no way around it. It would be basically, are you prepared to die? If that’s okay, you’re a candidate for going.” He added, “The probability of death is quite high on the first mission.” As if the all-consuming cold hug that is death was not something humans have been conditioned to fear for our entire existence.

 This wasn’t Musk’s only reference to the inevitable descent into nothing, however. He also noted at the very beginning of his presentation—presumably to warm up the audience—that we pretty much have two options as a society. 
 
 “I don’t have an immediate doomsday prophecy,” he said at the beginning of the talk. (Are you lying, Elon?) “One path is to stay on Earth forever, and there will be some extinction event. The alternative is to become a multi-planetary species, which I hope you will agree is the right way to go.” 
 
 “Some extinction event.” Lovely! 
 
 Musk also alluded to his own fallibility, noting that he’d have to leave the company in good hands before doing anything crazy and potentially life-threatening—like going to Mars himself.

 Well, at least Musk is lumping himself somewhere into the death pool. 

 Amber Heard and billionaire Elon Musk stepped out together for the first time in public while in Australia, where the actress is currently filming her upcoming movie Aquaman. 
 
 The actress, 31, and the Tesla founder, 45, spent Sunday at the Gold Coast’s Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where they walked arm-in-arm through the reserve. The pair also held hands and took part in the sanctuary’s TreeTop Challenge zip lining ropes courses. 
 
 Later on Sunday, Heard made the couple’s romance Instagram official by sharing a photo of herself resting her arm against Musk, a kiss-mark clearly visible on his cheek. 
 
 “Cheeky,” she captioned the photo. 
 
 This isn’t the first time Heard and Musk have spent time together. In March, both attended a VIP movie screening of Al Gore’s upcoming documentary, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power in California. The two were also spotted last July at the same luxurious Miami hotel, the Delano South Beach, though they were not seen together.

 Heard’s contentious divorce from actor Johnny Depp was finalized in January; Heard officially filed for the split last May. Elon Musk filed for divorce from wife Talulah Riley in January 2015. Musk has five sons from a previous marriage. 

 Rumors have been swirling for months that SpaceX founder Elon Musk and actress Amber Heard have been dating. But it looks like they’ve finally made that news official. Well, Instagram-official, anyway. 
 
 
 
 Musk and Heard both posted photos to their Instagram accounts last night showing the couple at the restaurant Moo Moo on the Gold Coast of Australia. Heard is in Australia filming the upcoming movie Aquaman. Heard is playing Mera, Queen of Atlantis. And Musk? Well, it would appear that Musk is in Australia for Heard.

 But you have to ask yourself, have they had that conversation yet? You know the one. No, not whether they’re ready to get married or even whether they love each other. I’m talking about the most important question Elon can ask any woman he’s involved with: Will they die on Mars together?

 Amber Heard’s photo on Instagram was simply captioned “Cheeky.” If you take a close look at Musk’s cheek you’ll notice red lipstick.

 Elon Musk’s photo had a bit more info, with the caption, “Having moo moo at Moo Moo Gold Coast with @AmberHeard, @CreepyPuppet and @CowanFilms.” 
 
 But neither of their photos addressed the very important question of whether they’re ready to take their relationship to the next level. By which I mean the level of spending 18 months in a space capsule together before reaching Mars and eventually dying on the red planet. 
 
 Elon Musk is a pretty busy guy, as the head of the space company SpaceX, the head of the car company Tesla, and even making himself CEO of a new company that’s working on what amounts to telepathy, Neuralink. Oh, and he also wants to dig tunnels under LA and fly to Mars and is advising President Trump. 
 
 But he’s not too busy for a social life—and a quite robust one at that. Musk has six sons with his first wife Justine and has been married and divorced twice to Talulah Riley. Musk’s second divorce to Riley was finalized last year. Heard’s divorce to Johnny Depp was finalized last summer. But none of their respective partners ever asked each other to die on a planet 249 million miles away, as far as we know. 
 
 It looks like if Heard (31) and Musk (45) stick together, they would presumably make the trip to Mars in their old age. Musk has said that he’d like to die on Mars. If they eventually do get married one has to wonder if that’ll be in the prenup. 
 
 “Irreconcilable desires to die on Mars versus Earth” would probably be the best reason ever for divorce though. Or “I don’t want to spend a year and a half in a space capsule with you watching you shit into a bag before we land on an uninhabitable planet together and die a horrible, horrible death.” Both pretty good reasons to split, if you ask me.

 It could not be confirmed by press time whether Amber Heard was ready to spend a year and a half shitting into a bag to then go die a horrible death on Mars.

– As Elon Musk toils away on linking human brains to computers, he apparently has Amber Heard by his side to bounce ideas off of. The 45-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO was spotted with the 31-year-old actress, formerly married to Johnny Depp, taking a stroll in Australia's Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary—their "first public outing," People reports. Their weekend of togetherness included plenty of PDA, from their "arm-in-arm" walk and hand clasping at the sanctuary to an Instagram photo Heard posted Sunday night showing her leaning on Musk, a giant lipstick mark on his cheek, above her caption: "Cheeky." Gizmodo, which notes Musk put up a similar picture, notes that while the pair's romancing may only be "Instagram-official," there's a more important question we should be pondering: Will they die on Mars together?
