What I think is "sillier" than people thinking the moon landing was fake, is that the heavily in debt US government is spending billions and billions of dollars each year on a manned mission to Mars; and how all of those who support it think that this landing will magically result in a means for people to terraform Mars and move our population there - meaning, for them, it is OK to trash our current planet because we'll all be going to a terraformed Mars soon anyway.
Completely ignoring that the manned mission to mars is already expensive enough for a small craft, what sort of expenses and resources will be required for colony ships to Mars? Why on Earth do you think a Terraformed Mars, which will both be colder, and with a lower gravity, would be superior to Earth? And how do you think it will be possible to terraform Mars?
Wouldn't just a little environmentalism be much much easier?
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
