For a contemporary example, people pay a premium to go to the mall. Just scale it up - not even a lot, 10x or 100x, and you basically have paradise. Far from abysmal.

- darkerside 6y agoSurely you don't think expanding a sealed base within a hostile environment is that easy?
- tomrod 6y agoNot easy, but plannable.
- radu_floricica 6y agoWe're already dependent on an industrial society. Without, for example, mass produced fertilizer we could not sustain current population. Same thing with digging holes.
