not what I'm saying

I know that you have political principles, hence are motivated to improve things right here and now. But I'm arguing for an HONEST and psychologically realistic motivation to get out there, right now. Long-term 'survival of species' arguments are not going to do that, neither should they. We're not going to spend tens (or hundreds) of billions of bucks to go to Mars in order to save our species, Mark. We're going there to explore, and you know it.
