...why is the agenda of space exploration to Mars and mining the moon so important to a few people when we haven't even solved the problems we face on Earth?
Before the Franklin Institute or anyone else poses the possibility of a Mar's colony, they should question the importance of Earth and the people living here when they push for more money.
Sol isn't due to nova for a long time.
The real question about space exploration is what quality control is there with the physicists today and in the future. Anyone can plug an equation into a computer and have it perform over and over, but, it is a very different reality than the challenge of sincere space exploration where the risks have all been mitigated.
Once there is a colony on Mars, who is going to move it to the edge of the solar system over time? Where are the scholars, on Earth or Mars?
Don't burn the bridges, build them!
Who is going to build the better widget, Wall Street or governments?
