    Those who go first are not going to have great living conditions. But in time they will. Sort of like the first Euros who came to the Americas.

    One difference between going to the Moon or Mars and Europeans colonizing the Americas is that the Earthly expeditions were about endless resources and fertile land, free for the taking from the pre-existing residents, who didn’t own it because they weren’t free market Capitalists.

    I know, it’s quibbling, but that’s what I’m here for…
