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.
Excellent point. We're going to need all of that 'Mars tech' right here very soon to survive extreme heat/cold, floods, fires, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and also grow/raise food in a survivable biosphere. Stupid to go to Mars when Mars is coming to us...

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.
