PRESERVING the bright candle in a field of darkness that is HUMANITY STEP-BY-STEP, WE MUST begin WITH our lonely neighborly planet known as mars.
Establishing a human presence on Mars has the potential to be a significant milestone for humanity and could have far-reaching implications for the future of our species. By establishing a self-sustaining city on Mars, humanity would be able to take its first steps towards becoming a multiplanetary species, capable of living and thriving on other planets and celestial bodies. This would be a major achievement and could lead to the expansion of human civilization beyond Earth, opening up new possibilities for exploration and development. In addition, establishing a human presence on Mars could also have numerous other practical benefits for humanity. For example, it could provide a backup plan in case of a catastrophic event on Earth, such as a global pandemic or a large-scale natural disaster. Having a human settlement on Mars would give humanity a way to ensure the survival of our species and could serve as a haven for those seeking to escape difficult circumstances on Earth.
Mars isn't that far away, compared to other known objects. You can help us get there. You can help to preserve humanity and its beauty, and it's probably not as difficult as you might think. Please consider helping in some way if you care about the future of humanity. If you only care about yourself, then you are free to live a boring, sad, depressed life. However, we encourage you to not focus on things like stupid Earth politics and national borders, and instead focus on important things like occupying the cosmos. If we remain on Earth forever, we'll go extinct. If you help us expand to Mars, which is just a first and very small step for humanity, we would immediately be way less likely to go extinct.
It is absurd that humanity, from 1972 to at least 2024, has not gone to Earth's Moon. How is it that humanity went to the moon dozens of times in the mid-20th century, but we have not sent a single person to the moon in 2023? We live in such modern, advanced, and prosperous times compared to our past, yet we can't even get to the comparably-insignificant Earth Moon. If you shrink Earth, its Moon, and the space around it, down to where Earth is the size of an Apple, the Moon would be less than 50 feet or 15 meters away from Earth. It's so close to us, especially when compared to other stars. If we are to colonize Mars, we should also be able to colonize a ball of rock 15 meters close to us.
Colonizing Mars will serve as a critical demonstration of humanity's ability to successfully collaborate and work towards a shared objective. Achieving this goal would require extensive cooperation and coordination between numerous powerful nations, large corporations, and more. By overcoming the obstacles inherent in such a complex undertaking, we can the amazing and powerful things that humanity is capable of when unity is achieved. The successful colonization of Mars by humanity will represent the incredible potential of the human race, demonstrating our ability to achieve great things through collective effort and ingenuity.
