Very, very long term planning.

We'll eventually need to abandon Earth. We have to get to Mars, then someplace like Titan.

Because we have to set-up mining operation there to extract precious metals. We must be very careful to not disturb any fossil relics there, and to make sure that the mutants have all of the resources they need. Director Cohaagen has hired D. Quaid to find the alien, Kuato, to assist in the operation.

It’s a money grab.

We don’t pay enough taxes to police other countries apparently so we need to pay more to explore other planets.

And politicians take there cut off all these “needed” expenses

I have several that I like and have probably seen every episode several times over the years since I was old enough to watch them when they first aired back in the 60's and it was one of my favorite shows.

It's amazing some of the guest stars on that show who were not so famous back then and just starting out in acting.

Robert Redford
Elizabeth Montgomery
Charles Bronson
Burgess Meredith
William Shatner
Dennis Hopper
Cliff Robertson
Jack Klugman

Just to name a few.

It should be pretty easy. You didn’t see For All Mankind on Apple TV?

Ray Bradbury wrote this short story in 1950


The Other Foot

Mars has been colonized solely by black people. When they learn that a rocket is coming from Earth with white travellers, they institute a Jim Crow system of racial segregation in retaliation for how the whites once treated them. When the rocket lands, the travelers tell them that the entire Earth has been destroyed by war, including all of the horrific mementos of racism (such as trees used for lynching black people), leaving few survivors. The black people take pity on the white travelers and accept them into their new society.

One of my favorite Bradbury books.

That's the only purpose of the entire space program.

There's no practical benefit whatsoever.

It’s not like satellites ever did anything practical for folks down on Earth.

If we do colonize Mars the Aliens will see this as a threat and try to destroy us. Bring it on! I am ready to defend my home from an invasion.
