A scientist was giving a public lecture, and explained that the sun would go out in 5 billion years. After the lecture, a woman came running up and asked, very panicked "Did you say the sun was going out in five million years?". "No madam:, he responded, "I said 5 billion years". Visibly relieved, the woman said "Oh thank God!" as she walked away. There are many things I can worry about, but the earth ending is not even remotely on my list. |

While still insanely expensive, it would be better to colonize the moon. It would require everything moving to Mars would require, but it is closer, and could be used as a platform for deeper space exploration. With unmanned probes. There is no reason to send a human anywhere in outer space, other than ego. |

You could be describing most any predatory species that live in groups, like lions, hyena, apes, orcas, etc. And man is not the only species that kills when it isn't necessary. (Seemingly for fun. Chasing down an animal, toying with it, then leaving the dead when it no longer provides entertainment. Cats, dogs, dolphins, apes, and more.)

And this isn't an issue of developing better technology. It's physics. Unless you can figure out a way to suspend those laws, we are stuck pretty much in our own solar system neighborhood. |

And the reality is, neither you or I will ever know. No chance anything close to light speed travel takes place in our lifetimes. I don't even know of anyone/organization working on it. |
