Instead of wasting our resources trying to terraform Mars, we should look for planets already in this "balmy zone" to live on.

You mean like not fucking up the planet we live on? That's impossible, you're insane.

We are terraforming, just in the opposite direction.

yeah, if we could terraform mars, we could terraform earth too. i'm in the "let's put all the pollution on the moon" camp

We've had one planet, yes. But what about second planet?

Reaching mars is far more achievable than reaching another solar system.

Thankfully there's a planet already in the balmy zone in this solar system, and even better, it already has an atmosphere we can breathe!
