This save HUMANITY via Mars colonization evangelicalism is a passion play of White Male Hubris - Rich Privileged White Men
-
Saving "Humanity" by the 1% escape podding OFF of the planet is NOT an exciting or inviting idea to me. All of the side eye!
I ain't buying this rosy ideal that Mars colonization by ONLY the RICHEST who control & dispose of Earth's resources is an all species plan

@DNLee5 One the other hand, if they would all go soon and quit messing with us here, we might be able to turn this into a habitable planet. -
@pschiendelman
@DNLee5 What about the proposal to send the 1% to "a nice farm upstate"? Where they'll have fresh air & room to run? -
@pschiendelman
@DNLee5 Plus they'll have all those happily retired pets to play with! -
@docfreeride @pschiendelman yes...pets over people. All day!

@DNLee5 By and large, astronauts are not the rich. They are HIGHLY educated engineers and scientists. The best of humanity. -
Not discussing Astronauts
@danieljphilo -
@DNLee5 Engineers and scientists will be the first colonists. If something breaks on Mars, gotta have someone there to fix it. -
@danieljphilo@dnlee5 Plumbers are trained to fix things, too. They aren't always concerned w. the ethical dimensions of unclogging a sink. -
@danieljphilo@dnlee5 If corporations control space travel/exploration are they more likely to invest in cheap plumbers or scientists?
