Opinion
Treating Mars as a backup planet will inevitably ruin Mars too
“It probably makes a lot more sense to try to take care of this planet and not screw it up than to treat Earth as being disposable and say, oh, it's okay, we're gonna go, we'll have Mars. Because if you keep thinking that way, you're gonna screw Mars up too.”
