The fall of our civilization is inevitable. Now, or some time in the future, the world as we know it will cease to be and a new order will arise from the ashes.

Shouldn't it be our job to find a way to get past this threshold and plant the seeds of what will come afterward? The seeds of knowledge. * +

I've been wondering.. could a situation like the one we are in now be the push we need to get our arses to Mars, or whichever other far flung destination there may be?

New frontiers.. it could be another world, it could be a slowly defrosting Antarctic continent. Humanity needs new frontiers before it wipes itself out. * +

The idea that when mankind has finally made the earth uninhabitable that we can then just upsticks and fu*k off to colonize mars and beyond is an appealing one I must admit but unfortunately it is also a completely unrealistic fantasy and totally impossible to achieve in any practical reality.

Even if we developed the advanced technologies needed to get there, any prospect of a long term sustainable future for mankind in space would be dependant on the consumption and supply of finite resources that we either don't have enough of now or would run out long before such a massive task could ever be successfully completed. * +

Destroy our habitat, then move on to destroy somewhere else? I'm not keen to accept the practice of a disease.

We know by way of other longer-established life here that we don't need to look elsewhere, if only we live in a sustainable manner. * +

This is like the twelfth or fourteenth time I have survived the end of the world, this one should go over just like all the others. * +

Tbh, Mars is a crapsack world. Earth is a beautiful planet, probably one of the crowning jewels of the universe and we treat it like shit. We'd be better off living in hollowed out asteroids or moon craters than Mars. * +

Nothing lasts forever. Does seem a bit of a shame, really. Kinda like it here. * +
