    Space travel and colonization of other planets are wildly different problems to solve. We’re nowhere near colonization levels of anything outside the most habitable areas of the earth.

    We can’t even create a self-sustaining habitat on Antarctica, and that’s many times easier than Mars, the moon, or whatever other planet in our reach we’re shooting for.

      We most definitely can create a self sustainable habitat in Antarctica, there is no real value of doing so though. That’s why we haven’t. And with the attitude you have we might as well not touch space anymore. You have to start somewhere, it just sounds like you hate a musk company doing it.

        Man, there’s a lot of projection here from you.

        I didn’t mention Musk once. Not even a little. That’s all you trying to simp to the jackass.

        There’s plenty of reasons not to try and colonize Mars right now. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t advance the technology ahead.

        But thinking that colonizing Mars is even remotely doable with the technology we have access to today, or in the future we can see, is being completely detached from reality.
