> For example, Musk's obsession with colonising on Mars is troubling when you hear what scientists have to say about it. Musk tends to talk about it as if Earth is already lost. He is pushing the idea using all techniques. This one is like propaganda, dismiss unwanted facts, repeat good sounding short wanted statements. Colonizing Mars would make him _the_ _king_. Single person who controls it all. IMHO, the right way to do colonization is to start with bases build by robots before humans arrive. Technologies can be first tested on Moon, then used on Mars. With AI explosion it's possible. Same way automatic bases can be build on big Jupiter/Saturn moons
