This is a great Meta question. When we look at going into "space," whether it's Mars or any other destination, if we take with us the dark triad behaviors we exhibit here on Earth then we will most certainly fail in these endeavors. As someone who has guided groups into mountain wilderness areas, I can tell you that many people devolve very quickly under difficult circumstances into their worst versions of themselves.
Astronauts are not only engineers but they are also picked for their social cooperativeness and agreeable traits.
Long story short we need to live in ways here on Earth that would be harmonious and sustainable in order to be successful in space explorations.
Man lived for over a million years as humans without governments interfering in what they did. They started out in a very hostile environment naked, afraid, with no one to help them and they [we] made it this far. I think we would have been on Mars centuries ago had man not invented the curse of government. The laws of astrophysics haven't changed but the millions of pages of 'laws' written by foolish governments have.
Love it. When I started out on my quest to free the world from its fascist governments 57 years ago, I did it to make myself happy, knowing I was dealing with killers who might destroy me for my efforts. Fascism still exists in the forms of taxes and regulations but so do I. They haven't killed me yet and I am happy in the midst of the struggle for freedom.
