    I can’t leave. I see the sheer stupidity, I want to distance myself from it, but I’m stuck on this planet. No matter how hard I want to live on Mars, I can’t, and it’s not fair.

      Honestly at this point, I don’t need a ship or even a suit, just shunt me straight out into the cold vacuum of space. I just don’t want to die on this rock, let my corpse drift among the stars until it gets caught in a gravity well and pulled into our Sun.

      I would be ok with a compromise to get the current administration and those nuts to Mars ASAP.

        Wouldn’t be long before they convinced themselves the outside air was breathable and staying inside was spraying their liberties.

        I hear the perchlorates are lovely this time of year.

        The SpaceX mission to Mars more and more look like FSD in Tesla.

        There’s no way a company will bet on such risky mission, that if it failed it would completely kill it. It would actually have to be financed by a government, but as they are dismantling it, it also looks less likely.

        We have much better chance for future if we can stop pollution and stop climate change. The billionaires think that they can simply run to Mars, but it won’t be in their lifetime.

        Also if somehow it will be successful, it won’t be for us, unless maybe sending us as a slave labor.
