Im no less a science fiction fan than the next person but the whole “colonize Mars” thing is stupid and wasteful and arrogant and really pounds the message that billionaires are deeply deeply out of touch with the rest of society.
Not only will colonizing Mars never work, there’s no reason at all to want to. What a dead, barren place.
And in the meantime back down to earth people are really starting to care about inequality. Meanwhile billionaires pour resources into childish flights of fancy when the world is literally burning.
Ugh. I really think billionaires have a place in our society but these sorts of projects make me understand why others question whether some people should have such huge control of resources.
No one is even visiting Mars, let alone colonizing it.
