I need you all to understand that "terraforming Mars" is *substantially harder* than other solutions to our problems like, say, "genetically engineer all future humans to be half the size so we eat less"

Literally any "geoengineering" project to stop global warming is *by definition* a better idea than "terraforming" a different planet And most of those ideas are horrific and absurd

it sounded so easy in the Mass Effect codex though!

We're having a hard enough time terraforming EARTH

We're terraforming Earth pretty well from a certain PoV. We really should have worked on "not-a-hellscape" before we did "uncontrolled hellscape".

As I often say as a joke, if we can't bother to stop venusforming Earth, good luck with terraforming Mars

Although ironically it is exactly that mentality of “the old ones broken don’t bother fixing it just get a new one” that’s helped get us into this mess.

I can’t help but read that headline and think, “really? I actually do think terraforming mars would be really, really difficult...”

Even if we had a magic terraforming machine that would make Mars livable overnight using renewable resources, it's still a remarkably shitty idea to just say "Well fuck earth then, it's been fun" Because it'll just lead to the same problem later for Mars.

To be fair, it's not like the people who are obsessed with going to Mars are planning on bringing the rest of us along. The point is not for humanity to escape Earth, but for them to escape humanity.
