Sorry Elon Musk, but it’s now clear that colonising Mars is unlikely – and a bad idea

Colonization doesn't make sense but mining maybe.

Why not?

Why not?

Because first we should focusing ending all earth problems before considering moving somewhere else like ending poverty, social Inequality, bad governments , free universal healthcare , less fertility rate , If all governments dedicated to find a cure for HIV Cancer diabetis etc we would probably find one like Covid all it takes corporation.

Also leaving Christianity aside from politcs the Vatican for example Is field with gold because of corruption.

Why not?

Well, Not with the current technology. Maybe in 100 or 200 years, who knows.

"Conditions on the surface of Mars are closer to the conditions on Earth in terms of temperature and sunlight than on any other planet or moon, except for the cloud tops of Venus. However, the surface is not hospitable to humans or most known life forms due to the radiation, greatly reduced air pressure, and an atmosphere with only 0.16% oxygen."

That's a stupid position - when humans first went into space there were a shitload of unsolved problems like povery, hunger etc. However space exploration brought us a lot of new technologies that allowed for some of this problems if not to be solved, but atleast to be made less significant. Any new technology requires an overconcentration of resourses, so someone should be left behind.

We havent been able to orbit the planet yet let alone colonizing a foreign planet. There are space station with humans working on data gathering but orbitting the planet not yet.
