"We won't discover second Europe, let's just stay there".
Human curiosity brought us where we are now, it would be kind of sad to ditch that with the excuse that it's "not practical".

- throwanem 10y agoNo one lives on the moon, or on Mars - in the latter case, not for many millions of years at least; in the former, not ever.
- acqq 10y agoIf you refer to the American continent, the people lived there and that the civilizations as Columbus arrived. They had from our point of view unpleasant religions but otherwise were very able to live without the input from other continents. The continent allowed self sustainable human life. Compare Mars. If you want to implement Mars colony because of a possible nuclear catastrophe, the Earth after one would be more suitable for human life than Mars is now! Ditto for most "end of civilization as we know it" scenarios. All the concepts of "building a colony on Mars" assume the healthy Earth with a functioning high-tech civilization.
