   While I tend to agree with the idea of colonizing a planet as similar as Earth as possible, I also think the barrenness of Mars actually simplifies logistics. On Venus, you have to deal with high temperatures, acid rain, the bigger gravity

   I was talking about small spaces all the time! Of course people wouldn't live in the Martin outdoors, but in the Martian underground.

   Oh no, I'm not looking at that again. It took a several days to get normal vision, and I was a bit worried it would never go away. I's astonishing how similar to a software glitch this is.

   One of the major drivers is app developers. You can't build an iOS app without buying a mac, and if you're buying a mac. It's kinda abusive how you need to pay the hardware tax, the yearly $100 USD rent, and 30% percent of yo

   Mars: dirt, water (likely as brine), air, air pressure, warmth, gravity, sunshine. You just get a lot of dirt, and a lot less of the others, but brine can be purified, air can be compressed to get pressure, useful minerals can be mined from

   That is a strategic option. Given the interplanetary shuttle capacity Earth has now (read: zero), doing one-way trips is the quickest and less costly way to find if Mars can be settled. Volunteers are told they would be risking their lives,

   Earth is also just wet dirt, what makes it fertile can be replicated on small-scale elsewhere.

    Agreed. Even if it's impossible for someone to understand all of it, it's possible for scientists to understand parts of it, make models, and use those models to understand more, and improve them. After many iterations you'll

    Counterpoint: since god is omniscient, he knows perfectly what his action or inaction will cause, present and future, from the subatomic level to the edge of the universe. A being like that can't possibly pretend to give humans free wi

    I think this is for gullible tourists indeed, who don't haggle down the price because $100 USD is cheap compared to all the expenses they had. A regular citizen would know it's a liePhone and would haggle hard or go where they sel

    I imagine USA would try to appoint a banana president on Mars. Everything goes fine for decades, until the colony is prosperous and self-sufficient, at which point it thanks Earth and declares independence. Earth would of course refuse, but

    Mars has an opportunity to start from scratch, with the current knowledge about political systems but superior technology. It's a golden opportunity to start anew the human race. Take for example the current elections in USA. Elections

    It would be a fucking shame to waste the resources of the first interplanetary colony in a war. It would be pretty in line with what our leaders do, but still a shame.

    And this is what will happen, even if the first to start will get the better spots. You can't claim the Moon is yours unless you control all its territory.
