I don't think you have the actual proof for your assertions. But, it should be clear when the three Mars Landers reach the red plaent. Because by your logic even less people should favor manned mission to Mars in any survey taken around January.

If for some reason your logic did prove to be true I would go about changing peoples minds in very much the same way any advertising/propaganda campaign goes about changing them. But, there is no point in investing time and money in a pointless and nutty campaign based on a delusion.

By the way, being Moon doesn't improve the Moon at all. It's a dead rock not worth the regolith it's made of! And no logical person would put a base to detect possible impactors on a dusty, three days away 14 day night, Moon when there is plenty of room much closer to Earth which is far cheaper and easier to reach and maintain. That you keep this Moonbase belief is proof of your own delusions (see about quote concerning illusions/delusions).
