God, this actually is familiar, toxic thinking isn't it "I won't NEED to fix the drywall in this house when I get a NEW house" "I won't NEED to deal with the communication problems in my marriage when I get a NEW marriage"

I feel like that is being pretty generous, going to Mars is more like moving down to the sulfur vents at the bottom of the ocean with a limited supply of oxygen to hunt for Caribou because you secretly hate yourself for inheriting billions & marrying a supermodel.

We have no comparison for earth in any planetary system we have surveyed, we have some comparisons for size & distance to the nearest star, but no evidence of life or an actual atmosphere anywhere. Calculations are mind numbingly bleak about the prospect of life elsewhere.
