It's very hard and painful to let go of a good place, people and cause, but when the odds of survival are impossible and the situation drives you bitter, it's time to leave. The sooner you'll start helping another worthy cause, the better it's going to be for everyone.

The hardest part is to acknowledge that there is nothing else you can do.

Okay, but how do I get off the planet to go help another one? SpaceX's ships won't be up and running to Mars in my lifetime and the longer I'm here with impossible survival odds the more I start to get bitter!
