… leaving 99 percent of humanity to "die on a war-torn planet"
Forget about underground shelters and bunkers. It won't help. Therefore, if Armageddon happens, then one percent of the planet's population, having all the possibilities, plans to escape to Mars.
Newsweek published an article this week claiming that the new commercial space projects of billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are, in fact, nothing more than preparing a rescue plan for the wealthy elite on Mars, making up about one percent, while the rest the population will be left to "die in misery on a war-torn planet."
“Space travel companies claim they are developing ways for humanity to survive on other planets. But the bottom line is that only the rich will have the means to fly to Mars. Musk's price tag is $ 500,000 per person, but that's just to get there. One can imagine what kind of equipment and suits space travelers will have to acquire in order to be able to set foot on the surface of another planet."
Indeed, only truly rich people will be able to afford a space flight organized by companies such as SpaceX and Blue Origin, so the reaction to this news from ordinary people is curious.
Most write that they are only happy to know that the entire elite will be sent to another planet.
It is sad for society that people's first reaction to the first commercial space flight was not disappointment that they could not afford to fly to Mars, but delight that the wealthy elite could leave Earth en masse.
The winner among the comments was the following:
Promotional video:
“Ha ha! We screwed up on Earth, and now we wish you a pleasant time cleaning up after us!"
"But who is going to build us luxurious space palaces, grow food and do manicures?"
"I think…. I think that everything will have to be done by ourselves."
No, they will probably promise a few "lucky" poor people a free flight to Mars through all kinds of "work programs" in order to then turn them into slaves. Happy rescue on Mars!
