But then you have this harebrained thought that we’re going to colonize the planet and live there. Just think about how entirely ridiculous this is. The temperatures are ridiculously cold. There are radiation issues because there’s no magnetic field and a thin atmosphere. Basically without a spacesuit and protection, you have about two minutes to live. But Musk thinks that we’re just going to spend an enormous amount of time, resources and money to colonize the planet there, rather than spend time, energy and money to fix the planet we already have? Brilliant. Send him as soon as he’s ready and we can read all about it. It’ll be similar to those guys in the homemade submarine that wanted to see the Titanic.

See the difference between you and Musk is apparent in that statement, on one hand you have someone who can't think past the year 2025 and on the hand you have someone who can.
