At the risk of being too ambitious, I would absolutely love to see YCR fund research on terraforming Mars. Based on the recent climate change data here Earth[1], this is important for 2 reasons:
1) We might be in a position of needing a new home sooner than expected
2) Humans seem to be better at affecting global environments than we originally thought
It can only help us to have a better understanding of what a realistic budget and timeline for terraforming would be.

- HappyFunTime 11y agoResources allocated to interplanetary redundancy enhance the survival of the people "over there" at the cost of you being more likely to die "here." I prefer to amplify the chance I and my loved ones survive, instead of splitting 4's at the blackjack table. Also, you shouldn't be sitting at the blackjack table.
