- freeflight 9y agoMars is only the spearhead for further stellar and maybe even interstellar colonization, after all, we gotta start somewhere don't we? Once we manage to do Mars, by gaining knowledge, developing technologies and maybe even discovering new resources, we can hedge humanities survival further by applying this experience to colonizing other places in space.
