Nobody thought he was serious. But a few months later, the first Dragon-class Starship lifted off from Starbase, loaded with the world's first interplanetary settlers: fireproof, space-suited, and incredibly intelligent dragons. Why dragons? Because their tough scales handled radiation like a dream, their wings let them navigate Mars' lower gravity like superheroes, and—most importantly—they wanted to go. Life on Mars, Dragon-Style The moment the SpaceX Dragon Colony landed, things escalated fast. The dragons immediately started terraforming—literally. Their fire breath melted ice deposits, releasing steam that helped warm the atmosphere. They dug vast underground tunnels, carving out Dragon City, complete with Tesla-powered light systems and Hyperloop tunnels. SpaceX engineers, who arrived shortly after, had to completely rethink vehicle design because dragons insisted on Cybertrucks with extra-large doors and flame-resistant interiors. Every time a new ship arrived from Earth, it carried more supplies… and more dragons. The Great Mars Race A few years in, Mars was thriving. Dragons had adapted so well that they started a Mars Grand Prix—a high-speed, low-gravity race across the Martian surface using modified Tesla Roadsters. The winner? A dragon named Plasma who could ignite her tail to propel her car faster than SpaceX thrusters. Elon's Final Move Elon Musk, now wearing a custom SpaceX flight suit with dragon wings attached, announced the next phase: "Alright, we've conquered Mars. Now… let's take the dragons to Titan." And just like that, the next adventure began. --
