Humanity today bears little resemblance to what it was 10,000 years ago.

And the humanity that colonizes another celestial body will bear little resemblance to us.

If you don't think the current generation will see humans on Mars, you're in the minority.

And in 1969 everyone thought we’d be on Mars by the end of the century. That being said I am hopeful we make it to Mars in my lifetime. But I also know that overseas wars and the military will always siphon the incredibly large majority of our tax dollars. Geopolitics can derail achievement in space at any moment.

But other than being cool it's pointless.
