“if we can figure out how to live on mars then we can figure out how to live on earth and keep it beautiful”

which reaction do you have:
a) hell yes let’s go to mars and we can solve our problems here
b) forget mars let’s just solve our problems here

Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

I get the idea of exploration leading to benefits back at home

Doesn’t have to be a binary choice though, I mean isn’t NASA budget like 0.1% of federal budget lmao 

And SpaceX is fully private so they’re just doing their own thing

If I had to choose I would choose solve our problems here. What if some colony is established on mars in idk 2050 and then everything goes to shit and they’re not self sufficient? It is a high risk
