Thank You @yogajill for your comment, i'd also like to touch on some of the issues you raised;
Colonization Has Fucked Up Generations
I cannot agree with you more, colonization has indeed affected humans in more ways than we can count, i dare say its one of the major causes of social injustice we now face. However, should we allow mistakes made in the past and at a time when there were no institutions necessary for moral sanity stop us from exploration, something that is innate in us humans. In addition, what damage could we really do to Mars, as a matter of fact the first Mars inhabitants have a very low likelihood of survival. Be that as it may, i agree with you about getting things right on our home planet first.
CO2 and HO2 on Mars
Should we really perfect the use here when we now have electric cars, when we are currently looking for ways to reduce the effects on our ozone layer?
I am however happy that you are passionate about something most people have come to neglect. Please keep the passion going
