Elon Musk Publishes Plans for Colonizing Mars

Again, we're not talking about going to mars for the sake of it, like someone climbing the Everest because nobody has ever done it.

There's even a saying : "nobody remembers the second person who climbed the Everest".

We're talking about colonization, not Everest-like conquest. Most colonizers will be anonymous. Whatever goals they'll have, fame will not be one of them.

I'm not even sure who the first person was, but I bet Wikipedia can tell me their names. That's the kind of remembering I'm thinking of.
