Don't go to Mars, it's dumb

Lord and saviour Elon Musk

Dear Elon Musk stans, going to Mars is stupid. I know, i know. Disrespecting the great Messiah and smartest man alive (Elon Musk) is a bad idea, and i fully understand if you track me down and throw bricks through my windows after reading this article. But before you do that, please hear me out.

 

Cons:

  • We are planning on terraforming Mars, but we'll do that with Earth's supplies, meaning that there will be less supplies left for people that decide to stay on Earth. We already have world hunger, so that would not be ideal.
  • There is no reason to live on Mars ourselves. We can send spacecrafts there to take Mars' supplies, but living there is meaningless.
  • We would need to spend years to clean up all of Mars' toxic atmosphere.
  • It's very dangerous.
  • It's very expensive.
  • Venus would be a lot better.
  • The human race has already proven itself to be very bad for the environment on Earth, why would we destroy Mars too?
  • Mars has a pretty high probability of developing life in the late future, and we would ruin that.

 

 

Pros:

  • It would be cool
  • sCiEnK fIcTiOn

Result

I could think of 8 cons in 5 minutes (and there are probably a lot more), but only 2 pros. So maybe Elon Musk isn't the smartest man alive.

 

Anyways, i'm gonna wait until the Elon Musk stans find out where i live and- oh my god they are already here. OH MY GOD THEY HAVE BORING COMPANY NOT-A-FLAMETHROWERS! THEY ARE GOING TO BURN ME TO DEATH! Uhm... tell my family that i love them. Farewell.
