I bet they did not give even a minute thought about the people who live and die in tiny boxes on desolate icefields. There was weird customs and rules to make this life possible, as for example Peter Freuchen documented.
This should be the starting point, imho. Those cultures were honed in 10000 years just for Mars survival perfection.
- oersted 2y agoA lot has been written by and about Peter Freuchen. Could you provide a more specific reference for these customs and rules? I'd like to read-up on it.
- timonoko 2y agoI read the "Vagrant Viking" fifty years ago. And the book was probably heavily censored in translation because ungodly family habits. So I am not sure where I got all the ideas from. There was somebody else married to eskimo too, interesting because he made an Umiak suitable for outboard engine.
- coffeebeqn 2y agoIt’s still an order of magnitude more chill off a life than Mars. You’re surrounded by drinkable water and breathable air and some critters to hunt
- Ekaros 2y agoAlso how simple it is to remove yourself from some situation. Something is getting on nerves. You can just put on some clothing and walk outside. Stand there for 15 minutes or half and hour and get to decompress... No such opportunity on other objects...
