SpaceX founder Elon Musk plans to get humans to Mars in six years. He plans to start with a great booster rockers, and in space conduct a refueling process (see the video below) however like everything in life, requires funds.
Everyone by now knows he’s got a huge ambition to colonize the Planet that looks like it is covered in pot holes, bunch of rocks, and pretty much dead.
My question, to Elon Musk and anyone with the same space vision, is whether they would settle and colonize the planet if there are primitive creatures living deep underground. I have a wild guess that’s where they all are.
I would be among the millions excited by this possibility of man residing on a another rock. Even National Geographic has got a mini-series happening this November. It is definitely helping all of us see beyond our planet and eventually expand into the stars.
However I stop to think about what the British Empire had done to primitive people of others parts of the earth. The advanced nation weren’t willing to share or coexist with inferior nations or inferior people
.
The Empire launched campaigns to break down the resistance, oppressed them or exploited them, or annihilated them or all of the above. I can sort of imagine if we modern humans actually wiped out neanderthals.
Mr. Musk, the billionaire founder of the SpaceX rocket company, has been offering hints and teases of his desire to colonize the big red planet since he could read.
He has outlined a simple ambitious plan for manned mission to mars which could begin in 2022. But thing that many scientist, entrepreneurs, government need to remember not to repeat the mess of human’s colonialist history.
And could Mr. Musk redirect his plans if the planet is occupied by natives who are just behind in their civilization evolution.?
Other Questions.
Would he enslave them?
Would he Terra- form the planet to suite mankind?
Would we force them to learn our cultures and religion?
Would we mix?
If we discover they are like horses or donkey would we just use them?
Would the humans sent to colonize mars go through significant mutations?
Would we be different from the British Empire?
Would you move them to an island like “Shark Island” like the Namibians?
Would you keep them alive if they are on the brink of death?
Would you run a eugenics program?
[He said there were “two fundamental paths” facing humanity today. “One is that we stay on Earth forever and then there will be an inevitable extinction event,” he said. “The alternative is to become a spacefaring civilization, and a multi-planetary species.”]
And other experts emphasize the need for thorough and conclusive understanding before we send any humans to colonize the Red Planet. “
I welcome your thoughts....
