That's actually a great analogy because being able to run 5km is actually a prerequisite for being able to run 42km.

- ceejayoz 4y agoSure, but that doesn't mean you have to complete a 5K race before you're allowed to do a marathon. A marathon can be your first competitive race. We can similarly go to Mars before we grow crops in Antarctica, even if the resulting tech would also have the side benefit of being useful there. They needn't even be mutually exclusive; some prospective techs for a Mars or Moon base already get tested in places like Antarctica.
