    "We just gotta work on that landing a little bit..."

    Well... $90,000,000 could be better spent on conservation.

    But then you don't have a giant phallic symbol to boost your ego.
    His phallus getting destroyed and surrounded by firey balls just at the point of climax doesn't sound pleasant.
    In his head that is probably just a metaphor for his virility though.

    Half of me agrees with you with regards conservation.
    Making sure humanity is multi planetary is important though...

    Why? The human race is destructive and parasitical.

    Philosophically, why does the human race need to expand?
    For who's benefit?
    We are miles and miles from any other potential sentient life.
    What benefit would it serve to colonise say, Mars? How much resources would go into that?
    Would the cost of this multi planetary bid far exceed the cost of doing what is tangible and highly important such as... conservation, preservation?

    We humans (as a species) are not big and we are not clever.

    We are actively undermining the very fabric of our existence and we want to go to Mars. F*ck me.
