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.
As Zach Weinersmith said in his book A City on Mars, “Leaving 2C warmer Earth for Mars would be like leaving a messy room so you can live in a toxic waste dump.”
Why would they need to rebuild the city when they own the entire planet with regulatory capture, and a whole ass army? Never thought once about how weird it was that a private company had a military.
The real life British East India Company had an army as big as the modern Mexican armed forces today
One of my favorite gaming experiences ever. I don’t think I knew what the actual plot was. Something about a clone?
You play as a blonde spike who can't remember anything so you follow a group of people and commit a slight bit of eco-terrorism while joining up with some talking animals. You can make birds fuck so you can race them and then you fight a half angel.
Oh right. I did make birds fuck. And that girl died and I lost all the items she was carrying.
Those of us that know now remove as much of her equipment as possible before it happens. I like to think the girl now knows it's coming too, or is deeply concerned about being asked to go into battle with her starting gear again
"Wtf I was just getting used to that umbrella"
The next remake entry will patch that, and be titled: Final Fantasy 7: Realizing the Potential to Loot The Girl’s Items When She Is Found Deceased
CSI: Midgar. Special Sephiroth unit.
Crossover dlc!
And that girl died and I lost all the items she was carrying.
You just triggered my ptsd
It's ok. In the remake she doesn't die.
