Why go to Mars?

Because if we all stay here, we will with all our history
and achievements be made extinct with the next impact of
a large asteroid or comet.

We gotta get off this rock and start the diaspora.
Without it the reality of no intelligent life
in the universe might be true.

Well I agree there is an element of manifest destiny to it. But at this point we should be able to detect and destroy meteors before they get close. If we can’t, then we should invest in trying.

I’m reminded of the reason(s) spoken by Jefferey Sinclair on Babylon 5.

I can agree with that.

Without it the reality of no intelligent life in the universe might be true.

While I don't wanna go all Tsoukalos on ya, but I firmly believe, out of the TRILLIONS of galaxies out there, there is definitely intelligent life other than us.
