i appreciate any billionaire addition to the human potential club but this is extremely not true. there’s almost nothing of value on the moon and it can’t (practically speaking) be terraformed. given current technology, mars is the only way forward.https://twitter.com/trengriffin/status/1086740028951162881 …

This is a way more optimistic assessment of the ease of terraforming Mars than any of the literature I've read suggests. Curious to see your sources on this.
also check out chris mckay’s speaking on the subject (youtube is full of videos here)

Thank you, I'll check out both. Curious if the lack of magnetic shielding is addressed - energy requirements for an artificial one are vast, and it seems the biggest impediment to maintaining an atmosphere and protection from radiation.

this was something that worried me too, so i interviewed mckay about it directly. turns out an atmosphere on Mars would last like 100 million years. interview here:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/new-world-5-lets-build-an-ocean/id1123461944?i=1000413536765&mt=2 …
