This astronaut says we're not ready for Mars (Not Even Close)

In an upcoming BBC program, Stephen Hawking has a new message for humanity: Get off Earth within the next 100 years or perish. In order to survive as a species, humans must colonize other planets.

But Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield has previously said that humans just aren't ready to live on other worlds. In 2015, he visited Business Insider to discuss his thoughts on where humans will go next and why.

Hadfield became a mainstream figure thanks to his YouTube videos from space and wide social media presence. Now retired, Hadfield is the best-selling author of "An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth."

Yes, “we’ve already got mental mutation of our
sexual organs.” The population control social engineers have that base covered too with homosexuality and sexual reorientation.

Our bodily fluids might become scarce if the recycling systems fail and there is no duct tape to fix them.

President Kennedy took "Great America" to the Moon,

That would have been Nixon.

Kennedy was dead as a door nail by the time we got to the moon.

Seems like it is going in the opposite direction, at least here anyhow. Now everyone is carrying around their own little computers and looking at them to the point they are walking into traffic.

Ask them to count, make change, read history, use grammar, spell - all without the use of those things ... cannon fodder for the first politician that promises them everything, telling them what they want to hear: free stuff!

We weren’t ready for the moon when it was announced. Not even close.

God created Earth as a habitation for humankind.

I agree. However, mankind also has the urge to reach for more. We have overcome very significant obstacles, and I think it's reasonable to believe that we will overcome many more.

The difference between Earth and Mars is just distance and environment. Physics, chemistry, and biology. We can do a lot with that ... IF we accept that physics, chemistry, and biology are going to kill some of us. Maybe a lot of us, in gross rather than percentage quantities.
