Do you think humans will ever colonize Mars? What would life there actually look like?

View all responses

The real questions are:
Why should humans colonize Mars? And do they really need to?
I genuinely believe that humans need to respect, honor, and take care of the planet that they already live on.
Because what will be the point of colonizing yet another planet just to do the same shit there that they already do on Earth?
Why as humans, do we feel that we have the authority to take control of everything we are given some level of access to?
Why must we pervert every last thing until there is nothing left to be enjoyed or curious about?
Is contentment so scarce that there’s not enough to grab hold of on this planet?
When do we start accepting that this need for more is an abomination to everything that life is meant to represent?
When do we ALL come into unison with “ENOUGH Being ENOUGH“!?
We create enough disarray within this solar system just by being on Earth.
And we don’t get to decide that Earth is no longer adequate for us when we choose not to value it.
Do people genuinely not believe in the universal law of cause and effect?
The universe requires order and balance, even if we choose to neglect that for our self-serving ways.
We are classified as humans for a reason.
