Why Should We Go To Mars?

quote [ Dr. Robert Zubrin with a brilliant answer ]

Can we please get back to being humans, and do what we do best... explore.

Zubrin's 1996 book, The Case for Mars is well worth reading for anyone interested in this.

I thought we were killing machines.

We must explore to find new things to kill.

This is what had me thinking about it. Wonder if it inspired Musk.

That's not a rocket. That’s a flame thrower. We make those too.

We're done here.

You didn't even have to squint to see Fred Armisen on that podium.

Every one of the reasons given could be applied to Earth, which would use science to save human lives now.

Problem is science corporporations disagree with what we should do with Earth, and the scientists aren’t winning. Right now. It seems science is more interested in Mars than companies.
