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.
Colonizing inhospitable areas of the earth would require producing actual results and wouldn't have the built-in excuse of "space is hard, guys" when he inevitably fails. The man is the world's richest pretender, and for the life of me, I will never understand how he has been allowed to fail upwards so spectacularly.

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.
