Yep and while Mars can provide a possible plan b any disaster other than the planet disintegrating would likely leave a more hospitable environment than mars, and if we have the geo engineering needed to terraform Mars we can terraform the earth just as easily.
That said however settling the Gobi isn’t cool and as such it won’t drive innovation that could and would improve life on earth.
- ben_w 9y agoWhat is missing from life on Earth that is more improved by turning Mars green than by turning Earth’s deserts green? Sure, Mars is cool and I intend to by a ticket, but making Earth deserts productive sounds like a great improvement down here.
- dogma1138 9y agoWell turning the desert green may have an impact on the global ecosystem of the planet at least as far as local species go. If that isn’t a problem for you then sure go a head. Mars would require us to solves many more problems which can be then used to solve problems here on earth sometimes a bigger challenge is required to push for a breakthrough. But if we go about geoegineering then I rather terraform mars which by all accounts is a dead planet than terraform the less livable places on earth as they are a host to their unique life forms.
