Forreal
Terraforming mars is like, a neat idea that maybe we can try as a super long term project for humanity once most of our problems are solved but..
It's not a solution. It's not easy, and definitively not easier than solving our projects down here on earth. It's like, instead of repairing your leaky roof you go out and plan to build an underwater waterproof habitat dome for yourself
Yeah I mean it's probably possible to live underground on Mars (assuming an infinite budget) but there's not a lot of compelling reason to dig on Mars instead of just... On earth.
If you go to Mars you will avoid all the people who got us in this predicament in the first place. At least for a little while. No nukes on Mars yet. First billionaire there will be the one with all the control.
Hard to spend money without an economy though. You'd have to bring some form of physical wealth with you.
