UFOs Not Spacecraft?

[Ninurta]

Despite Star Trek, 2001, Alien, and countless other SF shows, humans were designed for Earth, and only for Earth.  Any notion of Mars, or any other distant planet, is just fantasy (and wild fantasy at that)!  Save your Rubles, Kommrads!!

Clay, noooo!

I wanna go to Marz and be a slave for Massa Elon 

... can't imagine how awful such an "adventure" would be.

I'm with y'all on this! I'm not even slightly interested in going to a foreign planet, everything about which was designed specifically to end human life. 

I have exactly zero interest in living in a place where I can't even leave my house without putting on a bulky, constrictive suit just to keep breathing.

I'm not even slightly curious about what it's like to have to wear such a suit, the maintenance of which requires regular deliveries from a far away planet several million miles away, and wondering just when those deliveries would finally be entirely cut off, leaving me sitting around waiting for the air to run out.... or for enough cold to seep in to freeze me solid for posterity.

As I think back, during toe so-called "Age of Discovery", it was exactly those long-distance supply deliveries - or, more precisely, the lack thereof - that doomed the Roanoke Colony in the Americas, and came within a hair's-breadth of dooming the Jamestowne Colony as well. I think that is also what put an end to Cabot's colony in what is now New England. Supply chains are the weak link in any colonization effort into hostile territory.

Nope. That experience has never quite made it to my bucket list at all, much less anywhere near the top of it!

ETA: The atmosphere of Mars is almost entirely CO2, thin and completely unbreathable. Isn't CO2 supposed to be a bad thing that the climate crazies are trying to eradicate from Earth so they can kill off all those pesky plants that breathe it? Why would I go to a place where it is all there is to breathe, utterly surrounding me in every direction?
