If you regularly participate in the online baseball world, you’re probably pretty familiar with the glorious tweeting of former big-league MVP Jose Canseco:

So perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that Canseco has continued entertaining us with his thoughts and ideas on Twitter, but has decided to kick it up a notch too.
[adinserter block=”1″]
Last night, just before midnight, Canseco tweeted at Elon Musk – the founder and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors – with some out-of-this-world ideas for Earth’s energy future.
And, as usual, each tweet is fantastic.
I’ve added some fabricated responses in between the various tweets, illustrating how I imagine Canseco sees this conversation going with Musk:
Hey buddy @elonmusk metallic hydrogen is key to our energy future
— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) January 29, 2017
Okay, Jose, but isn’t liquid metal hydrogen hard to find? (And wasn’t the T-1000 from Terminator made out of it?)
And buddy @elonmusk liquid metal hydrogen is easy to get .where is it Jose you might say
— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) January 29, 2017
Oh, it’s easy to get! That’s fantastic, yeah, please tell us where it is!
On Jupiter @elonmusk there is an ocean of it.fluid stable liquid metallic hydrogen
— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) January 29, 2017
Well, Jupiter’s pretty far away, how would we get there? And also, won’t we be ruining the planet by taking its natural resources?

My idea buddy @elonmusk is that we focus spacex on pumping liquid metal hydrogen out of Jupiter. Jupe will feel no effect its to big
— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) January 29, 2017
Oh, well that’s good. How can it help us in the short and long-term?
It will solve earth energy and bonus is we coat Mars in liquid metal hydrogen and it will create new magnetosphere and atmosphere @elonmusk
— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) January 29, 2017
I’m not so sure this is a great idea, Jose.
Cmon buddy @elonmusk do you just want to build cars and tunnels or save earth and terraform Mars
— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) January 29, 2017
Alright! You’re right! I’m sold. Let’s go to Jupiter, get some liquid hydrogen, and save the Earth!

Wouldn’t it be great, if Jose were really onto something? After all, it’s not the first time he’s tweeted about science.
In fact, here’s an entire article with 43 (!) different science-related tweets like the ones above (and below):
We can extend our telemeres for uncontrollable reverse aging now.

If you make it to 2050 you will never die and will be able to set your perma-age
— Jose Canseco (@JoseCanseco) June 24, 2013
Who knows … maybe he’ll stumble into something special one day, and Elon Musk will be forced to build a spaceship to Jupiter. I can’t wait.
