Given that we still don't have a Mars base, haven't solved the climate problem, and aren't living sustainably on the planet, I would say no.

Given that we still don't have a Mars base, haven't solved the climate problem, and aren't living sustainably on the planet, I would say no.
- pyuser583 5y agoIs that because of a shortage of PhDs? Isn’t there a significant surplus of aeronautical engineers? I personally know several aeronautical engineers (with doctorates) struggling to find work in their industry. I know two folks with BAs in Environmental Science working as Product Managers (unrelated to environment sustainability). Having goals we have yet to achieve doesn’t show a lack of specialists. If anything the gap is in lower-level education. Are our high schools emphasizing the urgency of the climate crisis? Are they emphasizing the need to live sustainably? Are they encouraging space exploration?
- queuebert 5y agoThose are all factors. As a species, we need more scientific output and less sales and marketing.
- watwut 5y agoThe science is pyramid currently - existing PhD cant find post docs in science. And even if they did, the mars is not currently goal of those who provide funding. Nor should it be, honestly.
