It makes no sense to colonize Mars or any other planet other than a pure show or an escapist mentality.

Human beings as a species have shown the inability to even cohabit a 5 square mile space peacefully let alone colonize other worlds.

Better to stay here and explore and study the wonders of nature. We have yet to even understand how a simple protein evolves to produce all this wonderful life and consciousness and brains....

If we wait until life is perfect on Earth, then we will never leave.

It is literally the entire universe out there that is waiting to be explored :)

The Expanse is pretty fun look at how humans will manage to fuck shit up even after we have a 100 different worlds to live on.

Don’t you realise the entire point of leaving is because we can’t cohabitat here?
