Yeah, that is my question. Why living on Mars, where you don't even have drinking water available? Human population in a lot countries, such as Japan/China/Korea is going to shrink pretty soon. In US, without immigrants, the population is on the same track with those eastern asian countries as well.
And working in space...for what reason? For certain industry maybe, but is it a really a worthy goal to chase after? I don't know.
- speeder 10y agoI think part of the reason os that it os a chance to explore and "tame" new lands. I am from Brazil, that is a gigantic country with stupid amounts of land. Also I really wanted to live on a rural community and farm a bit, yet somehow it seems 100% of the land, even the most inaccessible places, have an owner, and prices of land a ludicrous (land in Brazil somehow cost more than same land in France plus real medieval castle in it...) So, colonizing mars sound awesome.
- ganfortran 10y ago> prices of land a ludicrous Well, trip to Mars won't be cheap, and by the point it is inhabitable for average people, it would have land owner maybe government as well, at that point.
- adrianN 10y agoWe have to eventually leave Earth if we want to ensure the survival of our race. A base on Mars that eventually can become self-sufficient is a great first step.
- ganfortran 10y agoIf human fuck up Earth, I don't think Mars will survive either.
