The two most common reasons in favor of colonization are the survival of humans and life independent of Earth, to making humans a multiplanetary species, [6] in the event of a planetary-scale disaster (natural or human-made), and the commercial use of space particularly for enabling a more sustainable expansion of human society through the ...
In “A City on Mars,” Kelly and Zach Weinersmith investigate what life would be like for humans on the red planet, arguing that Elon Musk’s dream is doomed to fail. Elon Musk has pledged to ...
