My impression is that underground human settlements on another planet would better handle a GRB than the status quo on Earth.

- threeseed 4y agoBut we have ~8 billion people on Earth. So even if a very low percentage survive within underground settlements here it would be far better situation than being on Mars.
- omgwtfbyobbq 4y agoDefinitely, assuming we build underground settlements here. The difference is that on Mars, we're for the most part forced to build underground. On Earth we have to choose to do so, and we haven't done enough of that so far.
- a2800276 4y ago> and we haven't done enough of that so far. Yet we still have infinitely more underground settlements on earth than we can conceivably have on Mars in any imaginable future...
- omgwtfbyobbq 4y agoWe had infinitely more non-reusable rockets than we had reusable rockets several years ago. That doesn't mean not trying to do something is a great idea.
