we'll have exhausted this planet a thousand years before we'd have the technology to make Mars habitable. It just isn't going to happen for numerous reasons.

we'll have exhausted this planet a thousand years before we'd have the technology to make Mars habitable. It just isn't going to happen for numerous reasons. The biggest are the lower gravity and the very weak magnetosphere.
- fny 6y agoWe haven't even successfully made the deserts on Earth habitable yet without trucking in resources from more hospitable places.
- ben_w 6y agoMars’ magnetosphere is something we could fix with known tech if we cared to. Expensive, but we could. Lack of water, low atmosphere, they’re a bit further out of our range. Fixing the lower level of sunlight is way out of our current league.
