Mars makes a lot of sense for a viable colony in the category of getting _all_ the eggs out of the single basket they're in. So would literally any other place

Mars makes a lot of sense for a viable colony in the category of getting _all_ the eggs out of the single basket they're in. So would literally any other place. (Though Mars might be lower hanging fruit since the gravity, pressure, and temperature are only a little off.)
- Retric 7y agoLiving under the ocean adds a lot of redundancy a lot more easily. Getting Mars self sustaining so it can produce everything including CPU’s would require a truly massive colony. Until then it’s not really useful. Under sea on the other hand assuming undersea gardens could protect from a dinosaur killing asteroid, with a small population able to repopulate earth in a few years.
- mjevans 7y agoI'm not saying it shouldn't be done as well, I'm just pointing out that having some bubble-wrap around one of the eggs near the bottom of the basket isn't the same as having an egg in another basket on the table. Or in a basket in another room entirely. PS: the background of the SOMA storyline.
