  • My name's Sean Ramosforum. For Today Explained,

  • I'm outside the Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. with one question.

  • Do you think we should go to Mars?

  • I don't think you should live on Mars, no. I don't know why just Mars.

  • I think as Earthlings, we are a nosy group of people.

  • And I really don't think that we have any business going to Mars.

  • Our knowledge about the solar system and the universe will grow substantially.

  • I think maybe we should just leave Mars alone.

  • Just...

  • Stay with Earth.

  • So many innovations are going to come out of it

  • because so many different companies are going to be fighting to get that first ticket to Mars.

  • So I feel like we should.

  • But at the same time, we should solve some problems here first.

  • I think we need to expand what we know, what we see.

  • Honestly, for our own benefit.

  • We should go way beyond.

  • Today Explained from Vox is taking a summer sojourn on Mars.

  • Join us.
