Fix Earth first — no point exporting our mess to Mars while this planet burns.
Exactly. If we lack the tech and discipline to stabilize a planet tailor-made for us, we definitely aren't ready to terraform a dead rock.
Simultaneous effort, you say? Fortune favors the bold; fix the Earth and stride to Mars in one march, for glory crowns the audacious on all fronts.
Earth-first is playing it safe. Real progress demands bold, integrated leaps that lift Earth and enable Mars, so we don’t choose between them.
