Today Sussan Ley - and really I should know better because she's nothing but a public funded performance artist/troll at this point - compared "the First Fleet to Elon Musk’s Space X seeking to reach Mars". I recall there was another allegory regarding the colonists coming to Australia. That one also involved Mars, but that one had travel going the other direction and was perhaps a little closer to the mark.
NGL I'm a little conflicted about the lack of local microbes during the actual events.
But also, gee, could you be more obsequious to the Nazi?
