Why does NASA even have to do this? Build some cool rockets and get us to mars.

NASA launches and operates Earth-observing satellites for measuring the weather and climate.

Living on Mars long-term is a practical impossibility. Certainly much, much harder than living on even a climate-changed Earth.

Humans have done a lot of things we once thought were impossible.

I’ve been living on a climate-changed earth for my entire life and it’s not been too difficult.

Ahh, the elon bois. This form of internet brain damage gives me a good LOL almost everyday 8-)

My old comment on the subject:

"If you want to know what it'll be like living on Mars, bury a cargo container in your back yard, and live in it for a year."

If you run out of something, you'll certainly be closer to the grocery store.

This form of 12 year old pubescent boy SciFi fantasy, taking priority over the many actual problems that need to be solved in the world today, is a poster child for the phenomenon of "the idiot wealthy".

Not everyone participating in the phenomenon are part of the idiot wealthy, most of them aren't rich.

Almost everything? Most money for fundamental atmospheric research flows through NASA. People always forget that only half of NASA's budget is for rocketry and human space flight, and the other half is science.
