A space travel fan listed all the advantages of life on Mars and of all the comebacks, this one went into orbit

Poke Staff. Updated October 8th, 2024

Stop the presses, we’ve found someone who might be even more excited by the prospect of moving to Mars than Elon Musk.

It’s American entrepreneur, podcaster and much else besides David Friedberg, who has been at the forefront of technology on Earth and who went on Twitter to share his enthusiasm for doing the same on Mars.

He was prompted to do so by this video of life on Mars …

… and here’s what Friedman had to say.

i want to visit Mars.

no wars. no missiles. no slaughterhouses. no historical pain. no narratives. no religion. no power.

just opportunity. https://t.co/vEmpxYZqfy

And this is what everyone else – well, not everyone else, but lots of people – had to say in response.

No rivers, no trees, no birds, no bees, no dogs, no cats, no flowers, no plants. Just strife but no life.

I’m tired of the mars shit. It’s an inhospitable wasteland a million miles away. What if instead we harnessed all that money and brain power to making earth the best it can be for its inhabitants https://t.co/w8cLQnDywF

Same vibe as when Homer was Springfield’s Sanitation Commissioner on The Simpsons & they moved the town five miles down the road https://t.co/OnX5sxUs7M

Unfortunately you know human beings will literally import all of that onto whatever new home we go to like getting a new phone and loading a backup.

I want to be on the same flight as this guy.

As soon as we land I’m going to trip him, then I’m going to consume his carcass after the accident in the food processing pod. https://t.co/EkuYKCZxut

The colonize Mars guys have made up their own religion where heaven is just a spaceship ride away https://t.co/FD4jVyRZE0

But of all the comebacks, this one went particularly stratospheric.
