Colonizing Mars is dumb

It gets to -73 Celsius at night at the *equator.*

It would be more viable to colonize the South Pole of Earth, but no one is going to do that because it's stupid. Surface structures like greenhouses are fantasy.

America colonized Saudi Arabia so it is viable

Saudi Arabia is nice and warm. All you need is water to grow stuff. People lived there in paleolithic times, you idiot.

Most normies don't care about Mars. Plenty of them still voted Trump.

You got it the other way around lol, only normies care about mars, normies and popsci autists.

Lack of good gravity is the only reason colonizing Mars is a pipe dream (because jello babies). Every other problem is well within our current technology.

We have a thread for literally this right now.

It's possible no doubt. The amount of emissions we'd leave on earth just pushing all the material to mars would be trillions of dollars of damage. We need so much stuff to even do a mars colony. Better to build a robot or locate mineral veins directly on mars to build with using the mass that is already there.

Temperature is a mute point without a significant atmosphere to conduct all that heat away.
They have to cool the space station not heat it.

Makes for a nice Hollywood movie, but that's it.
