Billionaires who promote the colonization of Mars and planets and systems beyond ours are pernicious people. To persuade others to leave our planet is to ask them to forgo Mother Earth, which created us and nourishes us and makes, with us, everything that is meaningful to us. The inducements they offer disguise their intentions. Don’t think that these visionaries of outer-space don’t understand that virtually all of these colonizers will be slaves living at the mercy of businesses who can cut off their supply of air and water at will to enforce compliance – something, to be fair, they are already working on here on Mother Earth.
