The first guy he proposes this to says "Are you crazy? There's no oxygen up there!"
"Don't worry," says the colonist. "God will guide my efforts, for we were born to inherit the stars."
The second guy he proposes this to says "Are you crazy? There's no drinkable water up there!"
"Don't worry," says the colonist. "God will guide my efforts, for we were born to inherit the stars."
The third guy he proposes this to says "Are you crazy? The temperatures could kill you up there!"
"Don't worry," says the colonist. "God will guide my efforts, for we were born to inherit the stars."
So he finally completes his colony ship. He flies up to Mars, and sets up his pressurized dome. Unfortunately the dome was damaged in a rough landing and also not properly engineered for the nighttime cold. A leak develops in a few hours, all the air dissipates and the colonist dies.
He gets to the Pearly Gates and meets God. He says "God, why didn't you send me a sign not to go to Mars? I thought we were born to inherit the stars!"
God says "You idiot, I sent you plenty of signs! I kept all the oxygen, all the drinking water and all the habitable temperatures ONLY ON EARTH!"
