Why haven't we reached Mars yet, damnit!

Robots!

They're not just for bombing innocent civilians anymore.

because its a totally waist of time and effort sending humans to planets that are shit for human existence.

Robots are the only thing that should be sent to mars and the moon , it would be far more efficient and cost affective to do that than to send people.

It would make more sense for people to try and colonise the earth sea floor as this is likely going to be far more sustainable and practical if there was a cataclysmic event and the development of that over 60-200 years would develop the technology to allow future space travel.

Until we have some sort of technology to move through space faster than the speed of light which obviously is unlikely then I don't see any point in colonising other planets with anything other than a robotic presence.

I do however think manned orbital space travel is something we have to develop right away and make possible right away for most people. We could also use it to send twats up into space and let them see how pathetic they are and how small earth and they are in the vast scheme of things with any luck that might make the world a more peaceful place to live in.
