Oh c'mon, you know better than to do the whole, "Oooh ho ho, why you so mad? Just calm down" tactic. Cause seriously? Who gets mad about this stuff? Unless, you're legit mad at the idea that people don't want to go to Mars. Like that idea offends you, which I don't think it really does, unless I'm totally mistaken.
I do think the whole point of my post either just completely went past you, or you're deliberately ignoring it. The point being that it makes no sense to call someone damaged or uncurious for not wanting to go to Mars, when there is such a crapton of amazing things to do and accomplish and explore right here on Earth. The whole point of my post was about how ridiculous it is to make the claim that to not want to go to Mars is somehow equal to not having basic human traits, which is something you're STILL insisting in your rebuttal post. Which is bonkers. BONKERS.
It's not like a single person in this thread is advocating that no one goes to Mars.
We have the ability these days, to share our experiences with each other in a freakin' remarkable way. YOU can go to Mars and give up everything to do it. And I can witness it by watching the extravaganza on TV, and then go about fulfilling my career goals, having children, seeing the beautiful parts of this world and I will personally, not have been made lesser for it. It for sure doesn't make me, or anyone else who shares this sentiment of not wanting to go to Mars damaged. It's such a bizarre assumption that I had to make my own assumption that you were ignoring all the things a person could accomplish on Earth in favor of having a big huge blinding boner for Mars.
Dude. It looks like a perfectly round poop. A big round poop. But I mean, if that's the style you dig...
