> Don't end the world then. Hypothetical Mars colony is doomed anyway without support from Earth. Becoming a multi-world species means insuring yourself against asteroids and other planet killers out of our control (super volcanoes, etc.) Food can be grown purely on Mars. Unless you don't believe in vertical farming? We have the sun and water on Mars... > Nobody is dismissing SpaceX with a Youtube video. The Starship and Mars mission are being thoroughly dissected which is relevant to the topic. Yeah I simply meant instead of linking the video, to expand on what you think the strongest points were. > I don't think they should die. But maybe it's just me. People climb Mt. Everest just for fun knowing it is a risk to their life. Others put their lives on the line everyday to make the world run, from cleaning skyscraper windows to windmill maintenance. It's up to that individual, not you.
