Don’t worry. Soon the Earth will look like Mars, so we don’t have to bother going there to experience it.
We’re going for the Venus speedrun
This, but the starting frame is a heat trap parking lot with nothing but death and concrete around.

Planet you land on is 200 degrees above or before freezing and has no atmosphere.
Why would I leave this planet? All my stuff is here.
But so are billionaires.
Easy fix
If it were easy everyone would do it.
The hardest part is catching them. The rest is easy!
Harder fix
I’m curious about how you keep the crazies out?
I would also say “oh no” when I get to the moon and only then realize it’s not a planet.
That’s not a moon…that’s a space station
To quote Tim Minchin:
Isn’t this enough?
Just this world?
Just this
Beautiful, complex, wonderfully unfathomable, natural world?
How does it so fail to hold our attention that we have to diminish it with the invention of
Cheap, man-made myths and monsters?
If you’re so into your Shakespeare
Lend me your ear
“To gild refined gold
To paint the lily
To throw perfume on the violet
Is just fucking silly”
Or something like that
Or what about Satchmo?!
“I see trees of Green
Red roses too”
And fine, if you wish to glorify Krishna and Vishnu in a post-colonial, condescending bottled-up and labeled kind of way then whatever, that’s ok
But here’s what gives me a hard-on
I am a tiny
Insignificant, ignorant bit of carbon
I have one life
And it is short and unimportant
But thanks to recent scientific advances
I get to live twice as long as my great great great great uncleses and auntses
Twice as long
To live this life of mine
Twice as long to love this wife of mine
Twice as many years of friends and wine
Of sharing curries and getting shitty at good-looking hippies with fairies on their spines and butterflies on their tittiesI know it’s about superstition, new-age nonsense and “spirituality”, not other planets. But it’s just so on point to me for everything where we fail to appreciate this wonderful world around us.
Oh, how I wish Tim would make another album like Apart Together.
Also JD from Scrubs every time he finally gets the girl he was dreaming of
That’s so funny
[most people won’t know this is a Scrubs deep cut]
Very specific, and not completely correct.
Agent Smith telling Neo people don’t want paradise
It’s not that people didn’t want the first perfect Matrix, it’s that their disbelief that it could be true made it unstable.
I dunno. That last panel looked pretty paradise-ish to me.
Really? What would you do, after 3000 days of nothingness?
Dunno. But it sounds awesome. Peaceful. Absent all the people I don’t like.
Plenty of time to build out the infrastructure there. Especially the laser defense system to keep others away.
Missing home 😞
