- aaronblohowiak 5y agoI am a much bigger fan of Mercury, though it is less popular (http://einstein-schrodinger.com/mercury_colony.html http://einstein-schrodinger.com/mercury_colony.html previous discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5734333 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5734333 )
