>The point of colonizing earth is to develop the technologies required to make it a colony

Is this miswritten? I don't understand.

For me, anyone serious about Mars ends up at a required room for progress. That room is the Lab of Science, Reason & Reality, LLC. And the Lab studies the desire & says "Doesn't work, cannot help". If the serious person actually cares, they ask "What is possible?" and help expand the amazing work our hands are making already, which we send to Space safely, cheaply & with the greatest of outcomes by default: every single attempt is humanity at its peak, making this the most important planet in the universe.

Anyone who keeps going is either deluded or a schemer.

Yes that was miswritten, that was obviously meant to be mars.

The benefit of trying to colonize Mars is developing the technologies required for it. That's what space exploration has always been about and this time it will change life on earth again if those technologies are actually realized.

Space exploration doesn't need people like you, if everyone thought like that we wouldn't get anywhere.

That logic is no better. "The reason this exists is so it exists."

>Space exploration doesn't need people like you

Reality and Reason aren't required for science?

You seem to have no idea what benefits space exploration has had on your daily life. The things that will come out of it will 100% benefit everyone.
