Was mankind really meant to just live and die on Earth? We are naturally curious and wanting to learn and expand, and in no reality will the human race ever come together to make the changes to save our planet. It.Just.Wont.Happen.
Every discovery/invention/advancement has to start somewhere, and they all have had their critics, but without the few crazies going against the masses we wouldn't be where we are today. For all we know in 100 years our children's children could see people leaving this solar system to live on another planet like Earth, and its all because some billionaire asshat launched himself into space on a penis rocket and inspired some 5 yr old genius-to-be that grows up to solve FTL space travel.

Like I said in my original post, I have no issues if we want to go to Mars or any other planet. What I have an issue with is justifying it by saying Earth is fucked and we need to be able to move to a waaaaaaay more fucked up Mars. I think in 100 years Earth will still be a way better place to live than Mars. That doesn't mean we wont have casinos and buffets on Mars.
