Mars Is No Earth
The myth of a wonderful terraformed Mars must be pushed as part of capitalist technosaviourism.<p>If we recklessly consume Earth into dust that&#x27;s actually ok because technology can save us as we simply load into rocket ships for a new life on the offworld colonies.<p>If we accept the notion that actually there&#x27;s only one Earth, that we already live on a paradise planet and that we must protect what we have then going hand and hand with that is the notion that we&#x27;d have to halt much of what we&#x27;ve been doing doing for the last decades to save paradise.<p>The acceptance of one planet that must be conserved at all costs suggests that there could be even be limits to production which is antithetical and untenable to capitalists.
