Mars is the remote backup, but it's empty. Now that's a terrifying thought.

Yes,

When we start on Mars, with a difficult challenge, make a bit of headway and then wipe-it out for some short term benefit on Earth, then it can serve as an object lesson.

Surely that will convince us to conserve life on earth when none of the other obvious arguments seem to do that convincing.
