@sunguramy @neurobashing But what's the point in Mars? Pretty much all the same problems, and mostly even worse.

I can't see any reason for it that isn't Musk wanking about the light of conciousness.

@Syulang @sunguramy @neurobashing Human progress. Mars is the logical next step and would offer massive scientific opportunities IF DONE CORRECTLY.

This kind of fundamental science often is too disconnected from our daily lives to easily grasp its usefulness. Without it there wouldn't be any major progress at all though. The whole "innovation" corporations keep pushing isn't worth dogshit without it. True advancements always come from peeps like NASA, people like Musk are just grifters.

@Natanox @sunguramy @neurobashing but hat can we do on Mars that can't be done better and easier here on Earth? Its a dead, frozen, irradiated ball of rock that is millions of Ks away through a vacuum punctured by ionising radiation.

We don't need an artificial challenge when we have so many real challenges that pose real, existential threats to us that we are refusing to address.

@Syulang @sunguramy @neurobashing We can do better science. Learn material properties, astrophysics, how to grow food extremely efficient… there's a myriad of things that benefit us!
