What business would you build on Mars?

I think there's a happiness at work conversations we had with him on that spaceship. But if we arrived on Mars and Elon Musk was leader of the Martian universe, then with his intensity, they'd be crying out for a good comedy club. What I would love to do to promote this would be I would get a giant trampoline. We got less gravity on my eyes, so we'd try and set a universe record for higher high. Somebody could jump on the trampoline every night that we opened. I think that would be a bit of fun.
