It's sickening to see the mindset of the Space Nutter. If this planet is a "dirt rock", then what's so important about going to see other "dirt rocks"?
Because every square centimeter of this rock is owned by someone? And no one owns any square centimeters of the other rocks in the solar system? It's about the frontier, and its opportunities.
They're sterile, barren, lifeless, radioactive hells!
Nobody said it had to be an easy frontier.
You or I might not be interested in making the attempt, because sterile, barren, bathed in radiation, etc. but other people do, and why do you care if other people run off and get themselves killed in an attempt to acquire unclaimed land?
