And it makes me sad that humans fantasize about terraforming Mars when they can't even stop themselves de-terraforming Earth.
Why? Do you think that Mars has feelings? Would Mars care if we inhabited it and used it's natural resources to sustain us?
No, I mean that we are easily distracted into fantasy when we find the real problems before us overwhelming. And we tend to overestimate our abilities: the best proof that we could terraform Mars would, surely, be fixing the climate problems we're creating here on Earth.
