Let’s discuss colonizing Mars. Why?

1) humans would have to be supported at all times by an artificial bubble in order to survive
2) all needs would have to be met artificially - food and water
3) psychologically how would it be healthy for a human to never be able to go outside nor breathe natural air?
4) As a launching point to other planets this too seems like a falsehood. No proof of any other planets that could support life have been discovered.
So aside from being cool to say humans went there, what’s the point in estalblishing a colony on an inhabitable planet ?

We are already there. It’s called Project Total Recall. Look it up. It’s why Biden is brain dead.

Atmosphere is 95% CO2. Pressure is 0.15 psia. Zero water.
Those are pretty big impediments.

Use a planet up, throw it away and destroy another one?
Good strategy cotton……

Mars has a very small magnetosphere. Forming an atmosphere that humans could live would be impossible.

Colonization disproportionately affects minorities. We should think hard about this.

Read ‘Red Rising’ it has the answers to all of your questions

Saturn’s moon Titan has more potential for human occupancy than Mars. The atmosphere on Titan is 98% nitrogen and 22 psia ( we are 14.7 psia).
We would suffocate under 98% nitrogen but if we could figure out how to introduce oxygen into Titan’s atmosphere it wouldn’t be lost to space like Mars.
