My controversial opinion:
We did this with sci-fi.
Too many people think their future actually looks like Star Trek or Mars terraforming movies or whatever, and buy Musk’s claim he’s going to make humanity an interplanetary race.
But it doesn’t work like that.
Space travel is impossibly hard. It is just impractical for human bodies, as they exist now, outside of specific scientific missions. Physics dictates that it is expensive. Quantify it, and basically, civilization woukd have to advance to a point where our Earth problems are already trivial to even begin mass manned space travel.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for drone work in space, crazy science missions, and beautiful, hopeful speculative sci fi.
But I feel like the population needs a cold bucket of water. Space travel is not going to save us; Earth is all we got for now.
True, but at this point, I'm not sure if we even deserve the earth we are on.
As proven by the voting public, too many people live in a fantasy land where the impossible is possible, like making lying cheaters into honest presidents. I don’t understand what benefit anybody thinks they could get from a space station on Mars. It’s not like they’re gonna get to live there or get any of the benefits from it. It must be the same people that refused to place any restrictions on Billionaires, like taxes, somehow they think a billionaire base on Mars is good for them.
That’s exactly what they think. They literally think Elon Musk is going to take them to Mars and automate work with AI robots and such, because nothing in their information sphere ever contradicts it.
It’s not fair to expect the average person to understand orbital mechanics, but putting them in an information bubble like Musk has is not fair to them.
It would probably work out better for everybody if he actually did take them to Mars.
