Except that Mars is a terrible location for a settlement in the next 100 years.
Bezos has the right idea, leaning into O'Neil cylinders.

- kamaal 4y agoThe hard part is getting significant amounts of material into space. Once you do that you can do anything there. Go to Mars, build O'Neil cylinders or even make your own asteroid mining factories up there.
