      Attempts to live on Mars could make us smarter about maintaining ecosystems in general and potentially, a better understanding of our native one could be the main benefit of a human presence on Mars.

      Humans have never been particularly good at living sustainably, we've hunted large mammals to extinction since the invention of flint weapons. We need to develop our knowledge of how to live sustainably, and Mars could be an excellent laboratory for that.

      That isn't true, many civilizations have lived sustainably with respect to their environments. The laboratory is here, making habitable resilient & sustainable buildings here is the baseline for building them there. You can't run a successful laboratory 33.9 million miles away.

      I get so frustrated with the "we need to teraform Mars because [whatever]" argument. If we need to teraform something, doing shit like reversing desertification is *right there.* We've fucked up the ecosystem of out own planet and fixing it is kind of a big deal.

      The way people just casually throw around words like "terraform" bothers me a lot, yeah Just -- the whole debate is *fundamentally* bonkers if you step back from the science-fiction mindset for one second (which is hard to do because it's baked into the American "frontier myth")

      I guess in real life it's linked to the "fantasy of moving to another city" This idea that all the things you currently find it difficult to do right now -- date, get a better job, eat well and exercise, stay on top of your bills -- would be easier if you moved somewhere else

      There's no logical reason this should be true All the problems you have in this city will exist in that other place *and then some* -- and then a lot, actually, because you're giving up all the knowledge and resources you have here

      And maybe for some people who actually are very talented and resourceful and lucky (and have a lot of money to start with) it really is just the psychological barrier of boredom that's holding them back and moving to San Francisco will turn out really great

      But for most people who think they'll turn their life around with a simple change of scenery this story predictably ends in tears

      Actually, I deeply regret this metaphor because most people who go to a big city go there because there's objectively stuff there that you could exploit -- there's more people, there's more money flowing around, there's more jobs and more stuff Going to Mars is the opposite

          Seriously though You can't fix ocean acidification or desertification or climate change HERE and you want to "terraform" MARS? "Look, I know that sink's been dripping for 20 years and I've never gotten around to fixing it but it'll be moot when I build a new house"

          God, this actually is familiar, toxic thinking isn't it "I won't NEED to fix the drywall in this house when I get a NEW house" "I won't NEED to deal with the communication problems in my marriage when I get a NEW marriage"

          I feel like that is being pretty generous, going to Mars is more like moving down to the sulfur vents at the bottom of the ocean with a limited supply of oxygen to hunt for Caribou because you secretly hate yourself for inheriting billions & marrying a supermodel.

          We have no comparison for earth in any planetary system we have surveyed, we have some comparisons for size & distance to the nearest star, but no evidence of life or an actual atmosphere anywhere. Calculations are mind numbingly bleak about the prospect of life elsewhere.
