People who seriously think Elon Musk is bringing a potential solution with interplanetary transport should do a bit more research about what it takes to make something very very hard (teraforming or at least having an habitable buble) and very very far away VS limiting pollution on our current planet.

The guy is a dreamer which is great but our peoblems should be answered with solutions, not dreams.

Like the wars going on all over the world are polluting like crazy and basically nobody has ever to take responsibility for it.

It's way easier and quicker (ie ozone hole) to fix pollution than trying to build something new.

Plus I feel like people forget just how inhospitable the rest of the solar system is. It doesn’t really matter how polluted earth is, it’s always gonna be easier to fix or adapt to whatever’s going on back home than in any other planet.

There is one fact that makes other world appeal us better than our: there are no humans to deal with. Get your buddies, set there, and enjoy peace knowing full well it gonna take millennia or something for annoying dumbfucks to come and ruin your place.

That’s not even close to the truth, you’re not gonna be living in some secluded property like you very easily can on earth. You’re gonna be living in a compound that’s as small as possible, likely subterranean as well since there’s barely any atmosphere to protect you from the sun. You’ll be sardine’d with at least half a dozen other people and have 0 privacy as you constantly breathe their recycled air and drink their recycled pee.

I said nothing about QoL. It was all about getting away from mad people. Period. Go debate and rant about space life with someone else. Bruh, find a thread about space colonization and get your "points" there - I am not interested.

Get away from mad people? In space? You do know there’s very good reasons why any astronauts are heavily screened right? Staying for longer than our limit of half a year and even those people could crack. The standards for a colony would be fairly lower since there’s just not enough candidates, recipe for disaster.
