Earth after a global nuclear war or comet strike is still more hospitable than Mars.
It's hard to imagine anything that would make Mars a better place to live than simply staying on earth.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoYes it would be. But that doesn't matter if no humans make it through the apocalypse in the first place.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoThe moon would do the job at a lot cheaper price.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoNope. Because of aero braking, Mars takes less delta v to get to and land on than the moon does.
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoNow I'm wondering why the Apollo program went to the moon if doing Mars is so much cheaper.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoGoing is cheaper. Coming back is more expensive. And of course the 3-6 month travel time is a challenge.
