That's because the "new world" was already livable by the people who, um, were native.
Things that we take for granted on earth (and which allow a simple tribal existence):
- air with enough oxygen
- most radiation is shielded, allowing one to subsist with minimal clothing
- vegetation that grows food
- roaming animals that can also be food
- water for basic necessities (hydration, hygiene).
Picture setting up camp in Death Valley. That's luxury compared to Mars.
- avar 9y agoThe GP is postulating problems colonists will still have on Mars in the year 4000. Your comment is entirely irrelevant to that discussion. By that time Mars could have been fully terraformed, but the speed of light won't have changed, nor presumably will planetary orbits.
- Nomentatus 9y agoThe first sentence is false in very large part BTW - before the eventual introduction of earthworms to the New World, most common agriculture was impossible.
