- saraid216 14y agoSpace colonization is an unmitigated Good Thing for the indefinite future, assuming you're okay with the human species existing after our sun explodes. Mars is the first step for dealing with that problem.

We have only existed for moment in time relative to the age of the sun, and any number of things could lead to our extinction in another relative moment's time, such that our entire existence on a solar lifetime calendar would not even be noticed.
