SpaceX isn't kidding around about its Mars plans. Elon Musk's space company seems to have requested images of potential Mars landing sites from NASA.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRise camera database includes a small group of images labeled as "Candidate landing site for SpaceX Starship."

What a fantastic thing it would be if Elon let the people of the world pick where it should land. A giant online poll with the winner being the most requested, safe location.
NASA would never allow this in their (our) programs, however they have indeed contributed the details to pick from.
Global empowerment.

Oh yes, let us as a species ignore the input from the scientists making they're living by having an understanding of which sites are actually a good idea and which are suicide...instead we should listen to the worthless masses, and take a popular vote! which landing site promotes the most free services for the lazy?
