I&#x27;m sure I will miss Earth before we even leave Earth orbit! But that won&#x27;t make me want to go to Mars any less.<p>&gt; Just send robots and control them from Earth...<p>This idea makes me feel isolated and sad. What a dystopian future that would be, with everybody sitting on a single planet at risk of disease, nuclear war, asteroid impacts, global-scale climate change, all without a care, while you look into your VR headset and see the realistic landscapes of other planets. So sad :(<p>I&#x27;ll take Mars any day over that. And I&#x27;m also confident that return trips will be frequent if anyone wants to leave - that&#x27;s the whole point of reusable rockets, afterall.
