| Holy guacamole. "easier to terraform mars or create a habitable satellite than saving earth" this is the most ignorant thing I've ever seen written on the internet. Get back to me once you have 1/10000000th the bio-diversity of earth on your habitable satellite. 1) change our paradigms, economic system, and other social factors. I can assure you that this is far more maleable than Martian soil composition... our social structures evolved in the context of low population densities and plentiful resources. our economic system is what needs to give, it doesn't even function for humans, let alone the planet and the rest of life we share it with... need I remind you that
1) we are only ONE species, and haven't the RIGHT to destroy our shared home, nor the other species. Some of us humans are upset about this, and we WILL take you other humans on over this issue! 2) our planet is STILL the only known place with LIFE in the entire universe. This is likely to change, at some point, but not if you get us all killed first. 3) our social systems are flexible, arbitrary, dare I say "PRETEND"... change em. |
If we can not rescue Earth, a biological paradise, we have no hope to make it on Mars, a biological hell.
