Elon Musk Isn’t Religious Enough to Colonize Mars
- imaginenore 10y agoThis article is a great example how religions try to infiltrate new tech. The argument is completely nonsensical.
- gus_massa 10y agoAgree. From the article: > That means asking and answering initially awkward questions, like, would we be best off if our first Martian colonists were religious observers? I propose to send to Mars only people that has a different religion than the author. Is that still a good idea for him?
- zerognowl 10y agoThe whole enterprise of space exploration has deep roots in religion, specifically the lunar missions where apparently landing man on the moon was expressing Christendom. If "keeping the light of human consciousness on" as suggested by Musk is not religious, well it does sound very religious.
- imaginenore 10y agoBullshit. The lunar missions were the result of the space race with USSR.
