The technology developed for Mars will improve life on Earth, in ways we can't even imagine.
Human effort isn't completely fungible. There is no guarantee that all of the people working incredibly hard at SpaceX would switch to work on whatever problem you want them to.
- nixpulvis 7y agoIt's sad that you frame this as "whatever problem you want them to work on". As is there should be any doubt.

- nixpulvis 7y agoI feel perfectly entitled to judge those who spend their days dreaming of Mars as a solution to their problems. I will not support such efforts, and I feel quite comfortable being a detractor as well. Who are you to tell me what to judge?! This argument gets you nowhere with me.
