It's pretty inarguable that, if an asteroid or other disaster strikes Earth, a human population on Mars would survive, however. You wouldn't try to run an important web site that had to stay up with one server, it is silly to expect a species to survive with only one planet when certain failure modes include an entire planet.
- ekianjo 12y agoNot all asteroids would destroy life on Earth, and there are many ways we can protect ourselves against such events, even without leaving our planet. Having orbit deflectors, for once, is a good solution if we can detect a large object early enough. Plus, I'd wage the Human Race is far more resilient that we think. I'm much more concerned about self-annihilation with nuclear weapons in the short run than any remote asteroid destroying us all.
