Even an Earth stripped of resources, with no fresh water or farmable land, hot and wrecked by global warming, and covered in radiation from nuclear fallout is more habitable than Mars. I'm a big fan of human space exploration, but let's not kid ourselves: Mars will not be even remotely habitable (without fully-enclosed structures and mostly dependent on resources shipped from Earth) for dozens of generations, best case scenario. Let's try a test run first: Set up a fully independent and self-sustaining habitat of 100K people somewhere in the middle of Antarctica. If we can't even make that work, what makes us think we can inhabit Mars? |
