Default Mars in 2033

This article

http://www.econotimes.com/NASA-Mars-...-A-Must-584243

contained very good news.

I'm glad to see ambitious space goals being set.

However, it contained one line that made me laugh. It said that both Democrats and
Republicans agree that we need to be able to go to another planet in order to
survive the calamities climate change will bring about.

I'm sure Democrats know that putting a colony on Mars, while it might ensure the
survival of humans as a race, isn't the same thing as being able to save an
appreciable fraction of the individuals who live in the United States from any
calamity.

And I'm sure that Republicans don't agree that climate change will cause any
catastrophe, or they would be willing to consider doing things to prevent it!

Stop the rat-like breeding in countries that can't afford or are able to feed their populations and that would go a lot further toward saving humanity than tilting at global warming windmills.

Ah, but over-breeding is the survival mechanism of the human race and a "nice little earner" for some.

Note how the devil's disciples in the torture & pedophile church, use their powers to ensure plenty of income, to constantly expand their property and business portfolios through time.

If they used all their money-laundering profits and melted down all their gold, the pedophile ring could send their demented leader along with his evil cronies, on a round trip to Mars on a monthly basis. Their demand for a stretched, solid gold, jewel-encrusted space ship, to match their elite status would be cough child's play cough with their vast wealth.

I'm sure the Martians are equally desperate for his sermons on morality as are his deliberately child-endangering followers. God knows, they'd volunteer their own offspring to go along as bed warmers for the decrepit old perverts.

So long as they only set the goals and don't attempt to waste
$trillions to meet them, I'm happy, too. Home is where the oxygen is;
home is where the water is. There will be no colonization of Mars.

Yes this is the sad state of affairs and permanently set it would
seem. For certain, the political division would continue even
countless millions of miles removed from its origin.

Of course, there is bound to be quite a lot of valuable technology
created in such a venture. The problem is, this is largely a zero-sum
game. A manned mission to Mars is itself useless, and whatever value
is generated by the resources directed towards it will almost
certainly be tiny in comparison to the value lost by canceling or
failing to create new robotic exploration missions and more Earth
monitoring systems.

Difference between Catholics and Third Worlders is Catholics are educated and don't have 10 kids per family anymore just because the Church tells them to. The Third Worlders have kids all the time to the tune of 12-14/1000 which is highly detrimental to the planet.

One of *our* kids uses far more in resources, and is far more of a burden
on the planetary ecosystem, than a dozen of theirs.

The reason that they should have fewer children, rather than we, lies not
in their impact on the environment, but in the fact that their parents
cannot provide a decent life for them with the resources they themselves
own.

Impact on the environment, on the other hand, is a reason why we, rather
than they, should have fewer children.

What we said.

In third world countries there is no social security nor free on demand health service.
So breeding is the default means of survival for those who outlive the normal breeding age.
Nor have the people of many lands adopted true respect for women's rights.
Some European and Scandinavian country's put the US to shame on _all_ of the above.
