My point is, if there’s not a simple box you can buy that makes methane on earth, we’re a long way away from a methane factory on Mars. Spacex has said they’re not working on it and hope someone else does. Without this magical machine there will be no people landing on Mars. Or, more specifically, no people leaving Mars.

My further point is, the whole Mars thing is just a bullshit ruse to trick us into funding the launch of capitalism into space.
