Instead of Mars Why Not The Desert

 


Instead of Mars why not focus on the desert, In a way they are both planets in that their terrain are both similar and the cost in creating oxygen is zero. We can focus on greening the desert, turning them to arable land and doing a rail project across continents than spending so much to do the same on Mars.
The cost of building a space ship to Mars and the consequent debris on space is enough reason to focus our attention on the two outer worlds we have here on earth, in the deep Sea and the desert.

If Elon Musk had spent the money he spends on trying to create a paradise on Mars and harnessed the desert using the wind energy to create a utopia in the desert, they would have spent less And even gone ahead in Creating a rail through the Sahara that links Africa to Asia with the cost of a single space ship
The Alaskan desert can be harnessed also but the reason for this costly delusion lies in the elitism that knows that very few could afford the space travel or living in mars, trying to lock us out so to speak from survival.
It seems devlish that after destroying the planet for them to leave us to literally rot generationally on earth. Think of the money spent on space travel the amount of human and natural resources destroyed just to make a spaceship, just to get to Mars and find that it just a desert without oxygen.

So now you have to create a dome, oxygenate them and oxygenated the rovers, spend more to provide sustenance, suffering. It is the self deception of the grandiose of having an entire planet to themselves that spur them on
What happens to Earth from where you made your money and your spacecraft. Why abandon her
As far as outer worlds go, the desert is the closest, cost effective version of that search for a newness. It might be charted as certain countries lay claim to bites off it, but I believe there should be enough desert to go around.
As we have desert in North America, Middle East, Africa and Europe have some deserts where we can fool around in space suits for the remaining 50 years of our lives, so says Dune and Dune Part two at least.
Why waste so much money and resources when what is there is also here
