10. Of one thing you can be certain

These billionaire assholes will be expecting the taxpayers to fund 99% of either endeavor (data centers in space or people living in underground bunkers on Mars).

And it would be underground bunkers. There is no atmosphere to shield us from radiation on Mars. You either live underground or else you construct massive indoor cities above ground. Completely pointless.
