     I think "being a barren airless hell off Earth" might be the flaw.

     Maybe colonize the moon first before sending people to die on the red meme.

     @Hoss

     It seems impossible to colonize.

     This. Space zealots could have perfected space expeditions to the nearest body after decades of technological advances but a 3 day rocket trip doesn't seem to fund those pesky multibillion dollar projects. Or maybe the moon is actually fucked and nobody wants to admit it.

     We can't even get people living in a dome in Antarctica. Until that happens, we have no business even thinking of permanently living on the moon or another planet. Don't even think about prod before passing staging.

     If something goes wrong on a Moon colony sending emergency assistance is feasible. If something goes wrong on a Mars colony, good luck lol. Help is 3-6 months out at best, and that's assuming Earth has a launch window.

     @Hoss @eriner @PNS Space colonization in the context of shitty, meatsack humanoids is 100% Star Trek nerds and futurists huffing high grade copium.
     
     I'll be less skeptical once we get permanent living conditions on the sea and ocean floors. So far there has only been one guy living for half a year under 10 ft of water to test the medical effects of pressure on the human body.

     We're more likely to send humanoid robots that can do everything people can do to Mars before we actually ever send humans.

     You don't need to go 140m miles, we have plenty of rocky barren hellscapes at home.

     That's optimistic considering how long took Jewlon to bring back the stranded Boeing crew from the ISS which is right above our heads.

     >tfw the only lifeboats you have that work are Soyuz spacecraft made by an enemy country you scorn as inferior.

     @Hoss @PNS @eriner @slipgate That would actually be preferable, especially for the initial colony setup. There is no reasons humans need to be there to set up a base of operations, which will ideally be deep underground to prevent irradiating our astronauts unnecessarily. To survive on Mars we must become molemen.

     @Hoss @PNS @eriner The moon has basically all the same problems, except for the dust storms, and it is a lot closer to us. Would make sense to test anything you want to do on Mars, on the moon first.
