Fine books, fine syfy TV.
But there is not a shred of a reason for sending humans to drive spaceships or mine asteroids, much less terraform (!) Mars.
Humans going into space is like humans climbing mountains.
It's a pointless thing some people want to do, sometimes only to become famous.
And that's fine, but why do taxpayers have to support such nonsense?
There is a national security argument for development of automated or drone space technology and eventually privately financed automated space activities might make economic sense.
But humans aren't going anywhere out there, unless for the hell of it.
