“Belief is the enemy of knowing”
I believe very little and know even less.
Speculation is most of everything we think we know, and “high octane speculation” is some of my favorite kind.
Talking about colonizing the moon or mars, especially on the premise that we will need to because we’ll be ruining Earth, is really the worst kind of deception.
When the unveiling of all the secrets (apocalypse) happens, if there really is a solid object called Mars and we could get there by some means other than tin cans and hydrocarbons, then ok, till then it’s all just more manipulation.
