Perhaps these plans to colonise Mars are not the vain egotism of a greedy capitalism, the false catharsis I thought they were, but are instead a bright spot of hope. A large-scale experiment involving the collaboration of every branch of science and technology, and an invitation to every country in the world to come up with new ideas. Perhaps the aim is not to make a stupid terrarium on a dangerous and hostile planet, but to show us how to fix what we already have. Maybe Mars will save the Earth.
