Just looking at the temperature range on Mars. It's 1.5x the distance from the sun as earth and the surface temp ranges from a balmy 70F to -225F.
Elon specifically has this dream of colonizing mars, but it seems unrealistic. Perhaps in the future there could be an outpost where humans can visit for extended periods of time, but living there forever seems kind of sucky.
Really? Why wouldnt you want to go to mars?
When I was literally 10 years old, and in health class. We learned about "responsible decisions". We of course had to write a fictional setting and explain why we choose what we do.
You know what mine was? My teacher told me I was the only one who used this scenario.
If I had a chance to go to mars, would I?
Fuck yea, I would. Sure death could be waiting for you even leaving the pad, but think of what it would be like.
To be the first people to see the planet with their own eyes, to hammer out their own home away from everyone and everything else. Honestly, nothing would make me happier.
Im so tired of this planet, this society is fucked. When the covid scandemic happened, i woulda rode a rocket to the sun prolly. I cant trust the government again, it doesnt matter who it is. Not after what happened to me. I wasnt about to take a leaky vaccine for a .0001% of death. Id rather die than get irregular hearbeat again if im being honest, that shit is so fucking terrible. The worst of it is when someone looks at you, they have no idea your literally fucking dying. And no one cares.
I remember I told someone in the halifax reddit during this time, put me on a fucking rocket to mars, ill take a 100 vaccines, im tired of this bulllshit. And next week some jackass says.
Im so tired of antivaxxers and I wish I could just ride a rocket to mars.
Like shut the fuck up bitch, your scared of someone's personal decision, and you think your gonna ride a fucking rocket to mars to inevitable death. Yeah what the fuck ever.
Ive since learned, they will never let people like me go. To much risk of something like the appalachia republic.
Also funny random story, it was that same class that ive only heard in real life about being born with a veil.
When the teacher asked if anyone in the class was born with one, as soon as I was about to raise my hand my class mate yells out. Yeah thats how you end up retarded.
Yea, their not wrong, I also wasnt going to prove them right. Ive never heard someone talk about it since.
Also, maybe my feelings are spurred by the hundreds of years that my family spent on the continent trying to live in peace with the natives. The pioneer spirit runs in my blood. So maybe thats why I feel like I do.
But think about it, this world can only sustain so many people, and we are quickly approaching that point.
Whats the choice? Forcing everyone to sterilize themselves, or escaping to space.
And before some wise ass says, but theres plenty of space for everyone. And while that is technically true. We need more biomass than just human bodys on this planet, its all in balance and we are destroying that, if we dont do what must be done, nature is going to do it for us.
But of course none of this matters if planet 9 is coming back to reset the earth, like something has done many times in the past. The great regurgitator i think chan says.
