The clock, is about to tick over to 2025 CE

PLANET EARTH......
8 billion [consuming] humans, and counting.......


If the elites could simply devise some plan,
which would reduce the human population on earth,
to around 500 million,
we could all 'kick back',
and live comfortable lives,

.......and leave the colonisation of other planets to fools like Elon.

We need to become a space fairing species or we will go extinct. Musk is not wrong, it is when we go and are we ready. We need to try, many will die but we need to do this.

Mars needs a sizeable satellite like Ceres to stimulate a magnetic field, core heat, tectonic movement and basically an ability to sustain life. Trillions of dollars spent trying to scratch an existence on that lump of crap as it currently is, is madness.
Can't even live sustainably underwater or in the Antarctic yet, so the whole Mars colony thing is a huge premature ejaculation and nothing but a propaganda scam to get more money for NASA.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids -
in fact it's cold as hell.

True but consider this.

If life is not so easy to create/evolve. The chances of life evolving to be able to leave their planet is even lower, I feel we have a duty to continue life and spread across the galaxy. Let's go, get on with it, a small step for man, a super big step for life... as we know it Scotty.

The fact is that is if Mars would have had:
rivers of fresh potable water,
an atmosphere of similar pressure to Earth with oxygen that we could breathe and
a magnetic field to protect from cosmic radiation,

then we would have already been there in the 1980s in large numbers.
We had the technology then to get there.

Mars died of any potential for life 4 billion plus years ago.
Life didn't even begin here back then.
It's a sterile world of rock and dust.
It never ever had life and besides wasting trillions of dollars and valuable resources to put guinea pigs there 'just because'  Scientists need to create more jobs and revenue, it's a big red herring.
Like I said. It needs a satellite the size of Ceres for starters, in orbit to create any variables needed to stimulate any possible activity.

I would also add that all the other hopefuls like Europa, Titan, Enceladus, etc are all lifeless. Nothing but dirt and sterile chemicals.

I don't believe that we would get it so easy to attain life on worlds right next door easy peasy. Even contaminating them with bacterium from here would be the slowest of evolutions beyond failing overall.

The real challenge of humanity, is not running away to other worlds for our survival. Not for a very long time, like 1000 years or more. But to find 'life immortal' here and improve the quality of life here. Such advancement of this planet, would inevitably lead to the right path earned - to venture afar... and it means very far indeed.

The Mars Colony propaganda and concept is just a continuation of the same narrative of Europeans venturing to the Americas, leaving craphole dying Europe behind.
It's the narrative of those who fled from the problem. Not face it.

At a guess. If there is a semblance of biological life, then I would say the binary of Pluto & Charon. Alas, I fear that such biology would be brought back here and it will cause a catastrophic mass extinction.

Life is dangerous. It can kill
