maybe not on your lifetime but at the speed of current progress, maybe your son or grandchildren can become space settler to terraform mars in the next generation (that literally coolest thing ever)

Becoming a space settler on Mars: cool Contributing to bringing Earth to a state where it will have to be "terraformed" itself: not so cool

It's the coolest thing, but it will be frontier work. It won't be a walk in the park, almost certainly neither fun nor safe, and possibly a one-way ticket for a long time. (Even without the "corp-owned slave town" dystopia scenario that's also a possibility.)

  "corp-owned slave town" in space human slave is literally most expensive labor you can choose, automatons is the way

    Man is the best computer we can put aboard a spacecraft... and the only one that can be mass produced with unskilled labor. - Werner von Braun Thanks to delayed effects of radiation and such, people are the automatons. Extremely commodity and robust. Humanity, (or to be fair, safety) in my work is cooler, actually. Nothing beats my bed! The worst political nonsense I get caught in means a phone call. Not an extended stay with potential life-lasting or shortening effects. Rad is different for everyone :) Captain Paperclip would have encouraged the negative path, yes.

      oh yes lets send a spaceship that full of leading edge tech with unskilled human labor, sounds about right maybe you must see real world first, drinkable water and plant is literally of the most rare thing in the universe surpassing mineral and metal, one of the most abundant things in space

        The unskilled labor would be the parents, but I can tell the metaphor is lost. Not sure why I bother explaining that.

        I perfectly understand the metaphor but machine already replace human in factory on earth, why do you think human can work in the 10x times worse condition in space??? also if you born poor in earth, many people would take a chance to do space industry at all in the future despite the risk
