The development of robotics and AI is rapidly advancing, making it more difficult to justify sending humans to explore Mars in the future. However, we are taking a calculated risk that we will resolve issues on Earth and not design technology that could potentially harm all of humanity.

Summary
The idea of colonizing Mars still has a long way to go before becoming a realistic possibility for more than just a handful of well-trained researchers. While it has been suggested as a potential solution to the current climate crisis, many believe that more funding should be allocated towards issues closer to home such as pandemic preparedness.
