"Virgle" - Google Founders Page And Brin Want To Colonize Mars - I Can't Go

"Virgle" sounds and reads like a great project. The founders of Google and the founder of Virgin want to collonize Mars. But my take on this, after some thought, is why the hell should we focus on taking our fucked-up act to Mars?

Why can't Larry and Sergey focus on problems right here at home and in the U.S.A?

We've got an economy that's a mess. High crime rates. Homeless people abound. And yet, these guys, these billionaires want to go off and start a Mars Colony. They want you to make a YouTube video and explain why you want to go to Mars. Heck, I'm going to explain why we should not go to Mars, at least not now.

I think it's a waste of great time, money, and energy that could be applied to more worthwhile projects right here at home.

I also don't like they they get to chose who goes. Why? Because it's there project? Will there be any Black folks beyond the estimated one percent who work for Google? I wonder.

Well, here's their video:
