we wont "need" planetary colonization until 400,000 years from now.
and civilization as we know it is only 4,000 years old.
and we're going to exhaust all raw materials in 400 years.
if climate change doesnt cause a catastrophe in 40 years.
meanwhile, why not "colonize" the Sahara or the antarctic. it has atmosphere, survivable temperature, no UV rays, water source. colonizing mars 395,000 years too early is a wasteful error.

Nah, it's not. In life, you should never wait to do something until you need it. Being able to establish colonies in Mars is a noble goal. The fact that Musk is a fucking piece of shit and has been pretending to be a genius for years has nothing to do with it. Colonizing Mars is not bad just because Musk wants to do it, just like loving animals is not bad just because Hitler loved animals.
Does your car have anti-tiger protection? What about anti-elephant protection? You dont need them now (and wont ever need them) (and they cost $5 billion each) but I see that you would buy both of them immediately if you saw them on Amazon.

Elon believes he is the savior of humanity and will lead us to mars because his dad named him after a character in a sci-fi book written by a nazi.
