Even if a religion, sure as heck the best out there, by a large margin:
1. Got the best miracles (two building sized Falcon 9 boosters landing side by side after an orbital launch).
2. Promises exciting future, full of explosions, adventures and memes.
3. Doesn't require you to believe it based on bad evidence (already delivers the cheapest and slickest rides to space).
- GDC7 5y ago> Doesn't require you to believe it based on bad evidence What about the promise that you'd be able to have your present day quality of life on Mars? That's basically the equivalent of "if you pray enough and donate X money to the church , you'd go to Heaven". Ironically the same people who stand behind the concept of "the big lie" and categorically deny the "lab leak theory" , have no problem believing in the above nonsense, even though the probabilities of that happening is many orders of magnitude lower than an election being stolen or a viral agent being accidentally released in the external environment. Curious. Nothing in the entire world is more dangerous than a person with lots of book smarts but zero street smarts When lots of book smarts people with zero street smarts are being recruited by a cult leader the most terrible things happen.
