Do we really need more of an argument than "multi-planet species"?
And in the case that "multi-planet species" is the goal, is there a better target? I'm not aware of one.
- roywiggins 9y agoI'm partial to the Venus airships idea, but that's probably mostly sci-fantasy.
- gkya 9y ago> Do we really need more of an argument than "multi-planet species"? Yes. I don't see what concrete benefits we gain becoming such a species, and I doubt it's possible to send live humans to Mars, or suspend life there. This is the new alchemy.
- adventured 9y ago> and I doubt it's possible to send live humans to Mars ... This is the new alchemy. By the actual definition of alchemy, sending living people to Mars can't qualify as such: we know for a scientific fact that it's possible. It's not even particularly challenging to successfully send (and land) living people there, it's extremely dangerous and risky to their well-being to do so. The idea is to not kill a lot of people in the process of attempting it.
