It's so deeply off-putting to see the world's richest man, an Afrikaner whose whole personality is based on the myth of "white genocide," walk around wearing an OCCUPY MARS t-shirt.
Elon, buddy, we know what you're saying. It's not subtle.
The fantasy of human colonization of Mars isn't just stupid, unrealistic, or a waste of resources — it's pernicious, because it actively stokes insouciance with respect to safeguarding the only planet that at least 99.99999999% of us are ever going to live on.

Establishing a human colony on Mars is fraught with risk. Why are so many people obsessed with achieving it?
