True. But whenever I discuss the climate crisis/future with non-billionaires (i.e. most people I know) there's a significant population of 'don't worry we'll move to mars if it gets too bad'.

I mean, have you been on HN for long?

Really? I must hang in different circles. I've never heard anyone say anything like that who has any clue whatsoever about space flight and what it entails... or is any kind of real engineer with a grip on reality.

Of course maybe I just dismiss clueless comments so rapidly that I don't register them.

I have heard people say we could put a settlement on the Moon or Mars, which is possible.

Refuting those claims doesn't require misattributing them.
