    Mars colonizing is not really a useful idea, it’s technically somewhat possible but there isn’t a lot to gain from it.

    Instead, keeping the earth habitable would be much more useful.

      The technology needed to inhabit Mars would 100% benefit the life on earth. Just lookup all the tech we got from the Apollo missions.

      I dunno, I see a lot of value in living on a planet with no conservatives

          Yeah, reason #2937 exactly why I support a nationalized NASA rather than the outsourcing of space travel to corporations and capitalism.

          Space should be ours, all of ours, not just theirs.

      Yes, there are a lot of better things we could be spending the enormous military budget on.

      I chose NASA because it’s the closest to military spending while still being peaceful.
