And pursuing science fiction makes our everyday lives better.

NO!  I want things to stay the same!  Or hell go back to the 50s.  Advancement is scary and I wanna teach my kids "old school" and "respect the old ways."  After all what's better than saying "back in my day" or "things used to better when I was younger" or other future or present hating attitudes?

You know what else was once science fiction? Weapons that could wipe out Islands.

Tell me how in anyway living on Mars is any better than living on Earth even if does reach it's worst possible state. Is the air breathable on Mars? No. Is temperature for the most part survivable on Mars? No. Is there million trillions of gallons of water in any form on Mars? No.

All the problems there are to live on Mars right now are more challenging than all the problems that will ever be, to live on Earth.
