Astronomy paid my wages for ten years or so, so I’m not an enemy of it. I’m as curious as anybody.
But it pretty obvious Mars is dead.
Even if life was there once, it isn’t there anymore.
If rich Democrats want to farm that planet let them.
I’d rate get Fusion power, and cancer problems solved first.
Our sun increases output every year so much so we probably will not have oceans in a Billion years or so. We are gone by then.
Well be inside the sun in about 5 billion years( red giant stage) plus we wiil be crashing into the Andromeda galaxy that will be a mess.
And you Democrats are worried about my personal car and its emmissions.
There’s an astronomer named Dr Becky with an interesting youtube channel. She did an episode about galactic collisions and how the chances of any two stars actually colliding is miniscule. There is that much space between stars. If our sun were the size of a pea the nearest star would be 125 miles away. The galaxies look nearly solid in photos but the distances are beyond immense. I guess as long as you don’t go near the central black hole the vast majority of stars will survive.
I think it is a shame we cannot get more rich deocRATs on a one way rocket to be farmers on Mars.
