Elon Musk wants to establish a colony on Mars, but I struggle to see the point
The Polaris Dawn mission. ‘We should perhaps see the end of government-sponsored lunar missions as a mark of maturity’ His only real qualification is his bank balance. As he looked down on Earth he said: “Back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here Earth sure looks like a perfect world.” He’s filthy rich, but not particularly profound.
The old astronauts, whilst undoubtedly sincere in their personal motives, were mere pawns in a Cold War pissing contest. Space travel has always been an ego trip; it’s just that nowadays billionaires, not nations, are the drivers. Not long after Armstrong’s giant leap, Americans grew tired of travelling to the Moon. The race had finished, so why keep running? Apollo was terminated because there was nothing left to gain, no riches to harvest. In other words, space travel isn’t remotely like what Columbus and Magellan once achieved. The 16th-century explorers brought back treasure: gold, silver, tobacco, potatoes. There are no potatoes on Mars.
