I came across this incredible video today...it's proprietary to the website so I can't embed it here, but if you click the link it will take you directly to the page. The title of 'Mars Sucks' sounds a bit funny, but the subject matter is quite serious.

I'm all for scientific research, and I'm as interested in learning about our solar system as the next person. And in case it's not obvious, I also love tourism!
But I find the amount of money and effort being spent on space tourism and Mars colonization troubling, at a critical time when doing whatever we can to repair the damage we've caused right here on Earth makes so much more sense.
I would love to see more of the brightest minds, the deepest pockets and the most creative entrepreneurs channel their funds/efforts towards protecting this beautiful planet that is our home, instead of pursuing an uninhabitable 'Planet B'.
