[Cody'sLab] Maybe Humans Should Not Go to Mars Yet (www.youtube.com)

Recent unscripted video from Cody Reeder of Cody'sLab.

I don't agree with several of his points, but he raises some interesting issues nonetheless.

Any thoughts on the optimal ways to balance human space exploration with planetary protection?

A "functional" independent civilization on Mars is a long way (millennia) off, and not really relevant to the topic of the video. Cody is advocating for a ban on all human Mars missions, even short term research missions. I'm not sure that this is feasible, reasonable, or wise.
