Comment on A City on Mars: Reality kills space settlement dreams
Ddub@lemmy.ca 7 months agoI don’t disagree that having a self sustaining population of humans somewhere other than earth will be an important milestone.
But a much more pressing milestone is a the first self sufficient population, which I don’t see mars supporting

We don’t know if a self-sustaining population is possible anywhere other than Earth. However we know lack of gravity is one issue we don’t have a workaround for. Mars is the only “large” gravity we can possibly reach with our current level of technology

I think you missed my point, I don’t believe we have a self sustaining population on earth (yet)
