      The fact that people think this kind of thing is even *on the table* as an option for "how to deal with climate change" is a nontrivial factor in dooming us allhttps://twitter.com/AstroKatie/status/1384566609331822594 …

      Nice article by @uncertainquark for @exploreplanets about why terraforming Mars is probably a lot harder than you've been led to believe https://www.planetary.org/articles/can-we-make-mars-earth-like-through-terraforming …

      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

      This was also one of the many problems with the premise of "Interstellar". I don't care how bad things are...there's no conceivable way that "use a wormhole in spacetime to colonize a planet in a different galaxy using fertilized eggs" is more practical than "clean up Earth."

      And seriously...was Anne Hathaway seriously supposed to feed, nurse & otherwise care for several thousand test tube babies by herself on a planet without any electricity, buildings, running water, etc other than some high-tech incubators she had stashed on the ship?

          Right. I'm sure a glorified Roomba can keep track of 300 toddlers who've learned how to crawl.

          As an aside, even if we were ever able to successfully "terraform" and colonize another planet, the civilization which eventually developed would quickly lose all cultural, religious, historical & political connections to Earth civilization.
