1/ As extraordinary a scientific achievement as it is that NASA landed on MARS today, there are serious spiritual and moral dimensions to it that should not be ignored.

2/ Right now we seem on track to take with us to outer space the same consciousness that has done so much to destroy the earth. Space exploration is a magnificent thing; the weaponization of space is a tragic perversion of our values. Yet that is the path that we were on.

3/ Let’s teach our children today not only a deep respect for the scientific feat accomplished by the Mars landing, but also a reverence and awe before all creation...including all planets. Space exploration should make us a more humble, not a more arrogant species.

It's going to. But it's not going to make humans not want to fight each other, grow up already.

Pretty dumb to think, with that kind of ingenuity combined with technology, ncredible talent, knowledge and experience, the #ClimateCrisis cannot be addressed. Incredible cooperative feats provide astounding humanitarian results.

Yeh, unfortunately our future is Star Wars, not Star Trek.

4/ if there are Martians, rest assured we will try to take their land in the spirit of Manifest Destiny.

I read something yesterday that claimed domestic space exploration was to distract from the military side of what is sent into space and make people marvel over the wonderful work of NASA. Interesting twist.
