And on Tuesday the three-day Human to Mars Summit kicks off in Washington to discuss the far more ambitious mission of sending men and women to Mars. We now know that we don’t need to worry about Martians sending a fleet of spaceships to attack us. Sending humans to Mars – at least any time in the next few decades – would be a costly mistake. Instead, we need to use our limited resources to return to the moon and set up a permanent base, and do more to protect our Earth-orbiting satellites. Setting up a permanent U.S. base on the moon and instituting measures to protect our orbiting satellites are long-overdue projects we need to prioritize.
