In case you're like my space friends who want this as a poster

... I don't get this comic. Is it satirical, or is it just not saying anything?

Seems to be making the point that it would be kind of dumb to spread across the solar system just making the other planets just as messed up as what we are currently doing on Earth.

There's not so much to mess up on, say, Mars. I mean the terrain is interesting in its way but it's not like we'd be annihilating complex ecosystems like we are here on earth. We would have to establish significant ecosystems anywhere we settled, in fact.

Lol, we ain't making it off earth, especially not Venus

Ironically, between Venus' earth-like gravity and high atmospheric density, it might actually be easier to build cloud colonies on Venus than ground colonies on Mars.

Actually, it's a lot better to dig, free radiation shield!
