Well known scientists who publish frequently in the media have been arguing...a lot, lately...that living on Mars would be impossibly harsh.

Mars colonization, therefore, is impractical. Mars will never be a backup plan for Earth.
But is this true?
It isn't.

We Could Transform Mars Into Earth 2.0 – Here’s What It Takes

Terraforming Mars is no longer science fiction; it’s an engineering roadmap. From melting the polar ice caps with orbital mirrors to creating a synthetic magnetic shield, we explore the "Earth 2.0" blueprint. Discover the timeline for when the first human could breathe Martian air without a suit.

“Going to the stars will not make us wise. We have to become wise if we want to go to the stars.”

I endorse this to 💯!

I have this issue with many Sci-Fi or Space-bros. Last year we bought the boardgame "Terraforming Mars" (FryxGames). While it is indeed fun to use different technologies and resources for the colonization of the red planet and the mechanics are nice, the sociopolitical vision behind is so shallow/continouist, it dampens my joy a little bit.
Now I want to send these guys a copy of your book, @ZachWeinersmith :QueerCat:

Antarctica isn't well-suited to conventional cities...but it *is* well-suited to floating cities, technology we can take off-world. As crazy as it might sound, might Earth's coldest continent be a proving ground for the solar system's hottest planet?

I'm a big fan of #scifi both books and movies. Maybe that's why I always considered the idea of #space colonisation as incredibly fascinating.
Although, I'm no fan of the current billionaires' #SpaceRace and I'm not sold on the idea of a luxury #communism fueled by extractivism in space either.
That being said I can fully recommend the #againstmars newsletter, which challenges the romantic ideas I still have about #SpaceColonization & #SpaceExploration

Cloud cities are oft thought impractical, but they may hold the key to opening up Interior Antarctica, Venus, and destinations beyond.

Interior Antarctica, therefore, might be a good training ground for *Venus*, in as much as aerostats will be the best way to settle both places.

Over Easter I've been thinking a bit about what a spacefaring civilization living in *very* close proximity to the sun (or some other star) would be like. Might make an interesting contrast with an Oort cloud civilization, like I wrote up on my #blog once: https://www.adamasnemesis.com/2020/02/12/colonizing-the-oort-cloud-the-final-frontier-of-the-solar-system/
