is gratifying his megalomaniacal tendencies. His goals are objectively foolish at this point when technology and resources should be devoted to ensuring our sustainable survival on the only planet we know can support us: Earth. Day by day, month by month, year by year, we are moving closer to destroying the ecosphere for ourselves and myriad other species. We are creating an extinction-level event and people like Musk are concerned with material wealth and chasing things which are millennia beyond our current technology.

At our current rate, we are going to be so worried about the crash of civilization within a century that the idea of going to a neighboring planet will be seen as the madness it is in these circumstances.
