>colony
It will never be a colony. Only outposts doing research, just like antartica.
No one will have children on Mars, so it aint a colony that way either. This would be a human rights violation.
These are great responses. This Lab of Science & Reason & Ethics is loving the clarity it creates.

Is this miswritten? I don't understand.
For me, anyone serious about Mars ends up at a required room for progress. That room is the Lab of Science, Reason & Reality, LLC. And the Lab studies the desire & says "Doesn't work, cannot help". If the serious person actually cares, they ask "What is possible?" and help expand the amazing work our hands are making already, which we send to Space safely, cheaply & with the greatest of outcomes by default: every single attempt is humanity at its peak, making this the most important planet in the universe.
Anyone who keeps going is either deluded or a schemer.

I think this is a reasonable conclusion. The existence of more appropriate, identical in spirit, morally clear local level laws makes this easy.
Are you paying attention Chief inJustice Roberts? Hello, McStooge...

Why not? Esp if they're still a member of the Republican Party, where I dont trust them.
The Roberts Supreme Court is illegitimate anyways.

>Mars colonization has its benefits,
No, it does not. Economics gets to step in here. There aren't adequate resources for human survival without complex technology that you cannot duplicate locally. A canoe to a ship is not a major change & they both have a huge source of resources. No space tech is simple and reliable except as a tiny part of a complex hole.
Colonies are self sustaining, with trade fueling their growth. There are no cheap food, shelter & clothing sources? You are dead eventually. No, we will not be mining, its too expensive.
This is it. This is our home. Its way better than anything else no matter what.

SpaceX has no actual colonization plans. If this was the original motivation, then Musk would have abandoned it a decade ago as unrealistic after talking to experts. He did not, he only increased bullshit futurism claims in lots of areas, from traffic to neuroscience, all easily debunked.
Musk has attacked NASA the last 20 years, two decades that saw some of the greatest achievements not just in science, but in human history. Spend any time with his fans and many have no idea we are already on Mars or the James Webb even exists. That says it all.

That logic is no better. "The reason this exists is so it exists."
>Space exploration doesn't need people like you
Reality and Reason aren't required for science?
