B The statement implies that the issues we have on earth are harder to solve than getting to Mars So I don’t see why we wouldn’t just tackle the hardest problem first - which is fixing our own home.

should be able to do b) followed by a). being we have a hard with a time change and have been adapted for earth for a very long, truly curious though how we would handle these various mars effects long term: - solar day is 24h 39m 35s, think of circadian rhythm - 1 year is 686.98 earth days - a mars season is twice as long as an earth season - mars is cold, on average -62 °C (-81°F) - gravity is 62% lower than earth

Solving the harder problem first is easier than doing the easier problem of the motivation/inspiration is higher. We chose to go the moon not because it was easy but because it was difficult.

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
