This kind of focus on Mars and terraforming is unfortunate, and will delay
the breakout of humanity into space. Please see www.ssi.org for more
details.

As it happens, he posted this to the SSI maillist as well. My comment there
was:

Please do not presume to speak for the entire human race. There has been no
single, universally agreed upon decision made here. One would expect anyone
who has come into sufficient contact with SSI to join their mailing list
would be aware of the fact that there are alternatives to Mars.
