    Because landing on the moon is an excellent test bed for future scientific and commercial endeavors. But why an international person? Space travel requires support from the international community and an easy way to drum up support without being billed for it is to offer a spot on the mission and all of the prestige that comes with it.

        If the planet was on fire, leaving it would be a good choice.

          this is bullshit. terraforming Mars or any other place in the solar system is going to cost orders of magnitudes more than solving earth problems. and no, we’re not even close to interstellar travel

            If you think humanity has the power to reverse climate change, then you’re going to be very disappointed.
