Mars Population Growth...how does your hockey stick look?

How does your population graph look for Mars?

Musk was talking not long ago of a city of one million within the first 40 years of landing...That seems optimistic to me...

Here's my take, based on Space X meeting their "aspirational" timeline.

YEAR     POPULATION TOTAL


2024 -           10

2034 -           450

2044 -         4,000

2054 -        10,000

2064 -        20,000

2074 -        35,000

2084 -        50,000

2094 -        75,000

2104 -       125,000

2114 -       200,000

2124 -       300,000

Re: Mars Population Growth...how does your hockey stick look?

Sort of hard to say when its a 2 year 7week launch cycle to mars with an unknown launch quantity of people, unknown quantity thats going to stay between missions and not any idea of if we can stay without health risks....
Will we have some sort on mars compensated artificial gravity chamber to exercise in to reduce a risk for continual stay?
