I mean, I want to believe in a colony on Mars, but the science seems to indicate that is really, really hard. Whereas relatively cheap robots have taught us a lot about the universe every time we do one. Also when do we get more space telescopes?https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1293047793276182528 …

I think most people think "Ok it's step 1 to making our HA Earth", and the reality is, it's probably not *even* centuries away. Plus I'm old now and don't need to get Mars cancer just because I read too much sci-fi.

Can someone tell me why we don't have Hubble 2, 3, 4, etc? Seems like even if we couldn't do them *better*, more of these would really help the pipeline on awesome discoveries.

If we could convince governments to throw a bunch of money at figuring out how to live in South Pole better, I’d be for that too. Basically a forcing function to research new habitats.

Yeah, but the most likely outcome would be spending a lot of money and then realizing it's always going to suck to live there. Instead imagine spending that same money on problems we know are within reach: solar, vaccines, space telescopes, giant list of things.
