This makes sense. My point was that we should be careful to not repeat the same mistakes we are making on Earth. I could easily imagine that somebody may start building factories on Mars that pollute the whole planet in order to make some profit.
- dogma1138 8y agoBuilding polluting factories on Mars would be perfectly fine in fact it would be encouraged it would be a critical part of any terraforming project.
- maxxxxx 8y agoI think pollution is generally viewed as something negative. It it's part of a planned terraforming project you would not call it pollution.
- dogma1138 8y agoPollution is pollution space is hostile and toxic to human life the pollution won’t be magical and non-harmful it will also be much more impactful on the existing environment on Mars than it is on earth and that is a good thing. On earth we don’t need to stop pollution because we’re killing the planet we aren’t we can’t kill the planet regardless of what we do we need to stop because we’re killing ourselves but this notion that somehow human impact on the planet is unnatural is simply silly we are living beings who evolved on this planet anything we do is derived from the same “natural” process which started with the Big Bang.
