RE: How Long Do We Have Before A Doomsday Event?

in #world7 years ago

Yes, absolutely. I mentioned the thing about Mars because it needs to be clear that Mars is by no means a solution to our current environmental problems. We are likely to be facing huge problems in the coming decades but solving them would certainly remain more feasible than terraforming a whole different planet that currently takes 9 months to fly to and that's only 2 times a year when things a align. It will always be easier to find a way to clean the air on Earth than to somehow create breathable air on Mars.

Sort:  

Yes, that is correct. Neil DeGrasse Tyson said that instead of going to Mars, we should focus on solving our problem here on Earth.

I agree with that but I also agree that we can do both. We absolutely have to solve problems of Earth but we should also be preparing Mars for a second home. That is the whole point of guaranteeing survival in case anything happens to Earth in say, 1000 years.

Absolutely! We should and we have to do both and I want us to do both too. It will be like living in the future.

It sure will! :)
