Fries is just as confident about the eye-watering price Musk wants for a trip to Mars. “I’m slapping down my hundred grand as soon as that fortune a Nigerian prince left me arrives. The future is so bright, I need sunglasses.”

The Red/Green Mars argument?
It’s a big part of the plot and motivation of the main characters in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy (Red Mars/Green Mars/Blue Mars). Basically, should we leave Mars (or any planet) as it is naturally, especially if we find life already there even at only microscopic levels? Or should we spread our own version of life from Earth (us along with other creatures and plants) and terraform where we can to maximize our own survival?
