Life on Mars

Dining domes at the Beach Club...
COVID protocols... dining in domes at a local restaurant

 I'm always bemused by the race between billionaires to spend their fortunes trying to get humans into space. Elon Musk has his eyes particularly on Mars.

Are millions of people... even thousands... clamouring to live out their lives underground or behind protective domes never again to see a blue sky, or dip their toes in a lake or river? Never again to hear bird song, or the sound of wind rustling through corn fields? Feel the breeze of a warm sunset caress their face?

I'm not one of them. I've no desire to boldly go anywhere in space.

With the multitude of problems we face on our own planet, I wish the ultra rich  would check their egos and spend the money down here helping humanity.
