To build a civilization among the stars that carries forward the best of humanity while learning from Earth's struggles.
"Because Jimmy, you're a problem-solver! That's what you do! I don't even have to tell you what to do! I send you to a restaurant with problems, where it's not producing money, and you just go there and you fix it, and now it's making a lot of money! That's in you! That's who you are. You can't help yourself!"
That same problem-solving instinct is why we must go to Mars - to fix the systemic problems of overpopulation, resource scarcity, and environmental strain that threaten all life on Earth.
We acknowledge our current monetary system while working toward something better. "I'm not interested in money, but then again, I'm not stupid."
The transitional phase - building the practical systems that move us from scarcity to abundance, from competition to collaboration.
The destination - where money is obsolete and humanity works for knowledge, exploration, and collective advancement.
While Earth's attention spans shrank to seconds, Mars cultivated minds that savor sentences. 47-minute average daily reading time.
Earth forgot how to read. Mars remembered how to dream. Our holographic archive preserves every book ever written.
The numbers don't lie: 0 military conflicts, 100% access to healthcare, 99.7% feel "completely safe."
We go to Mars to give Earth room to breathe. As humans expand to the stars, we create space for wildlife to reclaim habitats, for bees to thrive, for all of God's creation to flourish.
This isn't about escaping Earth - it's about becoming better stewards of both worlds. Mars colonization is an act of conservation for our home planet.
Creating meaningful work among the stars - in space colonization, terraforming, interplanetary commerce. Giving humanity a future worth building together.
