Earth has water, air, plants, animals. Humans could once live on the planet quite comfortably. Earth is our home. Now we are befouling our home in many ways. Global warming is certainly a threat to the human race, but so is nuclear war, and there are others.
So what is Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, doing to try to right the wrongs we are doing to our planet? He is planning to colonize Mars, a planet that has no atmosphere we can breathe, no water, no plants or animals.
And if he is successful in his colonization, who do you think will get to live on the new colony? And how long do you think that new colony will last, given the type of people who would be chosen to live there?
This is the same Elon Musk who has pledged to give Trump $45 million every month from now until the election.
By the way, the Republican platform is calling for the expansion of the use of coal and oil.
Because of the things he's said on X, and the people he's allowed to use the platform, I wrote to Biden, Harris and the head of NASA, asking them no to award anymore contracts to SpaceX. We don't need to make racism interplanetary!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even thought of that.
ReplyDeleteI dislike films where humanity goes to another planet to colonize, especially where the earth is a ruin. Humanity will just go and destroy another planet.
