It's not about prime real estate, it's about increasing the redundancy of humanity's survival. Two planets are better than one.

There seems to be a large amount of overlap between people who say things like "It's hubris to think that humans can change the atmosphere of the earth enough to make a noticeable difference in 400 years" and "we can make Mars inhabitable by humans in 50 years"

I could say the same about the opposite position

[-] MajinBlayze@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

What do you mean by opposite position?

That there's an overlap between people who think "climate change is manmade and requires systematic change to overcome" and also "terraforming Mars is a laudable long term goal, but can't be done at the expense of the earth"?

Yeah, there's a lot of overlap there, it's not particularly hypocritical.
