Hey, I'm just a messenger.

What's the fucking point? There's nothing there, it's a dead planet.
>b-but muh extinction level event
Just fucking build a habitat in the ground/below the ocean floor, problem solved, will be cheaper too.

It's fine if you don't want to go. Fortunately, there's no shortage of people who want to.
>There's nothing there, it's a dead planet.
Sure. But whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, it would depend on who you ask.

Yeah, they're called Darwin award recipients. Antarctica is more livable than mars. Middle of the fucking gobi desert is more livable than mars. Just about any place on Earth is more livable than mars.
You do understand that those colonists will have to live in what is basically an underground bunker, right? That's why Elon started a boring company, they need something to dig holes because humans can't live on the surface on mars, ever, there's just too much radiation.
The whole idea is insane.
