Perhaps I'm an outlier here but I don't see why we should do anything in particular to ensure the survival of humanity.
I think we should get our own house in order before wasting money on, literally, pie in the sky.
We're on our way to polluting every square inch of the only known habitable planet, and already causing mass extinction.
Thus how can anybody prioritize sending a few people to Mars?
