True, but at this point, I’m not sure if we even deserve the earth we are on.

My controversial opinion:
We did this with sci-fi.
Too many people think their future actually looks like Star Trek or Mars terraforming movies or whatever, and buy Musk’s claim he’s going to make humanity an interplanetary race.
But it doesn’t work like that.
Space travel is impossibly hard. It is just impractical for human bodies, as they exist now, outside of specific scientific missions. Physics dictates that it is expensive. Basically, we’d have to advance to a point where all are Earth problems are already trivial to even begin mass manned space travel.

As proven by the voting public, too many people live in a fantasy land where the impossible is possible, like making lying cheaters into honest presidents. I don’t understand what benefit anybody thinks they could get from a space station on Mars. It’s not like they’re gonna get to live there or get any of the benefits from it. It must be the same people that refused to place any restrictions on Billionaires, like taxes, somehow they think a billionaire based on Mars is good for them.

That’s exactly what they think. They literally think Elon Musk is going to take them to Mars and automate work with AI robots and such, because nothing in their information sphere ever contradicts it.

It would probably work out better for everybody if he actually did take them to Mars.
