I don't get the whole Mars thing.
I mean I get it purely from the standpoint of having a self-sustaining colony of humans somewhere outside of earth is probably a good idea just as a backup just in case a supervolcano or nuclear war happens and sends us back to the stone age.
You think they would tell us if they already had a colony there?
In that context it does make sense. Also as an incredible human achievement and all the science we could learn.
Yet some people seem truly excited to go and live there. Naw bro, only as a last resort. I'm staying right here.
Itll end up as another Australia but this time in Outerrrrrrspaaaaaaaace! And with more shitskins
