It’s virtually guaranteed that even if one were to even get a viable amount of people to mars the first attempt at building a colony’s doomed to some sort of “all hands lost” situation, isn’t it?
All those quirky memes about dying on Mars, from Grimes included, were building up toward normalizing that idea and making it non-horrifying enough to potentially happen. Well, still horrifying for those that lost their nerve mid-flight with radiation exposure and very tight quarters and janky SpaceX shit breaking all around them for the many months on the way there. Not a moment of glory, but a long stretch of regrets.
