Your ideas are honorable, but imperialists are ruling the world.
Comment on What’s the Bare Minimum Number of People for a Mars Habitat?

No colonising please. Leave that nonsense to the Age of Sail. By all means, have a science outpost but no permanent and growing settlements, no terraforming, no farming, no mining. We have our own planet and other worlds are not our “manifest destiny to conquer”. We must be the Watchers, not the Contangion. Humanity should go to the stars to explore but not to destroy it in our image. Create any permanent settlements on Mars and wars and misery will soon follow.

Watcher of what? It’s a dead planet

Humans could be about to ruin whatever was supposed to survive on Mars in a couple million of years. We’ve disrupted our own planet, and are about to destroy another one. And honestly, we’re not all that great as a species.

You can’t stop it. Not only because of the resources but also as a way of continuing our existence. It’s just a matter of time.
