What happens when earth goes to actual shit and rich people want out?
- semi-extrinsic 9y agoOn Mars they'll be strongly dependent on Earth for resupplies in all realistic scemarios. If that doesn't exist, they die. If it does exist, they might as well just go down to Turks & Caicos instead, much cheaper and nicer.
- WJW 9y agoHow shitty would it have to be that rich people want to move to Mars? There is no abundance of food there, no abundance of entertainment and you can't even go outside without having to wear a space suit.

- neaden 9y agoWorst case scenario Earth still has 1g of gravity, a breathable atmosphere, a magnetic field keeping most radiation out, and a temperature that you can live in without dying in most places. It'll still be way more livable than Mars.
- PeterisP 9y agoMaking a colony on the Antarctic, in the middle of ocean, or underseas are all ways that allow you to "get out" that are much simpler to colonize on a large scale.
- amorphid 9y agoThat's a theme in Elysium. http://imdb.com/title/tt1535108/ http://imdb.com/title/tt1535108/
