Mars - Backing up humanity's hard drive

Mars - Backing up humanity's hard drive

"Becoming a multi planetary species - going from living on one planet, to two planets - might be the most important action humans will ever take.
Despite earth’s hardships, global pressing issues, and our personal daily troubles, they are merely tiny problems in the grand scheme of things.
As frustrating as a cat scratching a newly bought couch is, it doesn't matter if we know that humanity & our feline friends aren't going to survive for long.

Securing humanity’s near & far future in such a complicated, heated political climate is essential.
There are all kinds of natural disasters, as well as man-made disasters that might strike.
We are not as indestructible as we think we are.
There are also financial and technological opportunities that need to be taken advantage of, and progress is not guaranteed whatsoever.
We have a limited window of opportunity to leave earth and colonise Mars.It must be done as fast as possible to ensure our survival.

There are major breakthroughs currently being achieved in the field.
Records are set, and rockets are becoming more economically viable.
The probability of people going to Mars increases every single day, and the future looks rosy, with a copper tint.
So give your pet a good head-scratch, hold it close, and cuddle up. In a few decades, you might just be telling a newborn Marsian kitty, what life used to be like for earth-grown cats."
