it's wasteful and alien here on earth, chewing up tons of otherwise valuable land for nothing--not exactly a problem on mars tho!

earth is for the organic, space is for the mechanical--while I'm here, let me use my legs, enjoy the sunshine, all that good stuff, ok?

till you build a Mega Dome and need a nice, cozy, dense urban center

yeah the "thermal pocket" design might work on mars
-
is this a real science. i just thought "okay theres an outer wall and it spews atmosphere, it just works"
-
Your main problem is sand-storms stripping off the upper atmosphere but other than that mars is not a windy planet. 60 mph tops during sand storms so you can take advantage of a valley effect to concentrate a comfortable atmosphere.
-
Provided you have formatted the atmosphere to a good oxygen balance, every where outside the dome is survivable but dry, miserable, and like, winter in Arizona every day
-
ok ppl keep talking about changing the atmosphere to have more oxygen but what are they gonna do about the problem of oxygen being too light to be held by mars's gravity there's a reason u need to be a gas giant to have any hydrogen in the atmosphere
-
ah nvm it looks like Mars is still massive enough to retain oxygenpic.twitter.com/pEmhOTYyzh

In extraterrestrial suburbia, oxygen is now a utility. Or, make every home a biosphere. Either way, still energy wasteful and a bore to live in. Seems cost effective + more exciting to build compactly - Venice under a dome, no?

I better liked the Doctor Who Mars colony. They used bicycles, becauses that's the most resource-efficient way to get around the base.

If I were writing sci fi about a Mars colony, I'd do tunnels instead of roads, and monorails instead of cars.
