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.
