There's a 0% chance of a successful colony, by any definition of successful, on Mars in the next century. If we, as a species, cannot avoid destroying the climate that birthed us over millions of years we have exactly 0% chance of surviving one that is completely inhospitable to life.
- paxys 3y agoThere's no chance of a colony of any kind. The bare minimum requirement would be to end dependence on shipping critical materials from Earth, and good luck with making that happen in the next century.
- falcor84 3y agoI'm not following. Are you saying that a colony by definition has to be self-sustaining? Why? At this stage of globalization, what part of Earth is self-sustaining? How certain are you that if the US was suddenly blocked from importing any goods that it would not descend into chaos?
- paxys 3y agoI'm not saying it has to be by definition, but the costs and complications in regularly transporting oxygen, water, food and everything else in cargo ships from Earth simply makes such a colony unrealistic even for a very small number of permanent settlers.
- falcor84 3y agoNot that I have a better estimate, but I'm curious about where you got that 0% from
- trgn 3y agoIt's an irradiated wasteland
- sambapa 3y agoYou can't learn rocket science if you are too retarded to wipe your ass. So that 0% came from this unwiped ass. Mars colony is impossible, humans are just less retarded monkeys.
