Should we colonise other planets?
- retrocryptid 3y agoYes. But we should terraform them first. I'm also kinda disappointed anyone in the media would think of interplanetary (and possibly interstellar) colonization is a "libertarian" pipedream. It may be a pipe-dream, but I know several Marxists who would love to visit the "red" planet. And while I find Musk's antics and occasional counter-factual statements distressing sometimes, he seems to be earnestly committed to the colonization concept. I can't fault him for that. I think my point is "space colonization is more than the butt of an elon musk joke."
- meristohm 3y agoSure, but not at the expense of our home, which means we may never colonize other planets, and that's okay; life down here is amazing.
