Fuck stopping global warming! Let’s speed it up!
Stephen Hawking has announced recently that we have only two centuries left on this earth, and if we don’t move to Mars, we’ll be extinct.
Not only will anyone who heard you say that, Stephen, be dead, but I think no one gives a shit.
Here’s why:
TWO CENTURIES
Obviously those are the key words here, the main idea if you will, no one on this earth right now will be alive in 200 years, so it shouldn’t fucking matter.
And I’m all for going to Mars, but it takes almost 260 days to get there, and you can only do it every 26 months (when Earth and Mars line up properly) [src]
But if Stephen Hawking thinks we can get to Mars and colonize it and make it a new planet to fuck up then it must be feasible, right?
Not really, if only every two years you can make a trip to Mars, where you can only bring so much cargo to plant a tree or make an eco-dome or something, then we’d have to send a shit ton of ships all at one time, or colonize all of Mars in a matter of 100 trips (2*100=200 for the slow).
And if you have a word to say about that, let me know, because I think in less than 200 years we will begin to lose the resources we need to get to Mars and back again, then we’ll be fucked.
So everyone who reads this, go live your life, go drive a car, and stop being such a pussy about how humanity will melt and your children will suffer, because face it, you got to live your life, now do the classical situation which will be our ultimate demise, “let someone else fix it”.
