What about Antarctica? Sure it's not a different planet, but you will be doing things that advance human civilisation and every person on Antarctica matters.
EDIT:
There's a lot of scientific research going on down there. [1]
In Antarctica you can participate in research that can reduce the possibility of such a catastrophe in the first place.

- outlace 11y agoHow is living on Antarctica advancing humanity? That would just be living in barren cold for kicks. Building and sustaining a colony on Mars would pave the way for future space colonization and possibly prevent the human species from going extinct if a catastrophe happened on Earth.
- XorNot 11y agoWhat you can do in Antarctica is fairly limited (by international treaty) - unless you want front row seats for when the treaties run out in 2048.
- adrianN 11y agoI regularly check job offerings in Antarctica, but the openings are few and the competition is fierce. I think you'll have a really hard time getting a job there unless you already work for an organization that does research there.
