why is everyone so worried about space and mars?
why is everyone so worried about space and mars? we have a home on earth so why do they waste time and money on a planet that might not even be livable? and why do we worry about space it's a dark hole of nothingness. I say let's worry about the earth and make the earth livable forever.
