Because if you do, the demand for that knowledge will be insatiable and it will fund lots of exploration and discovery missions.

So there's possibility we might find proof of life.

The capabilities we will develop in order to get to Mars will become a national asset.

We could use it for transporting

for mining asteroids, for going to and from the moon and healing through like all these capabilities, like I mentioned before, that will need to be pioneered in order to make that mission possible will be useful.

You build nuclear spaceships, you could have solid state lasers in space, you could have a whole new golden dome apparatus as a result of it.

So there's lots of like,

good or useful things that can come from uh you know establishing an endeavor like that the kind of you know uh more negative approach to it or hedge if you will is what if something really awful happens here on earth you know there aren't any dinosaurs around anymore um

So you pick it.

I mean, eventually at some point or another, our star will kill us off.

Or maybe it's a bioweapon or a chemical weapon or a nuclear war or some new virus that just appears out of nowhere and takes us out.

I mean, we're an asteroid.

That's just a matter of time.

So for all those reasons, you know, it would seem to make sense that we should

hedge our bets a little bit and start spreading out.

Not to mention, I just think it's our destiny.

I think that there's way too much space out there and too much to learn for us to just sit here the whole time.

Yeah.

I think if we're thinking about the entirety of the universe, there is almost certainly other life out there.

I would bet heavily on that.
