A City on Mars: Reality kills space settlement dreams (arstechnica.com)

A book review on the latest Weinersmith creation. It’s true, there is so much we don’t know.

Just throwing this out there on this forum because missing technology is the problem that kills the dream of Mars, according to the authors.

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard." -JFK

Space is inhospitable to human life, but look at the countless inventions and benefits we've gotten from exploring space, the moon, etc. Humanity will continue to grow, learn, and try new things regardless of what the pessimistic Weinersmiths believe.

Im a little bit disappointed, i was expecting things that where only possible because of research made in space, not things that were developed because NASA thought they were needed for astronauts.

Edit: seeing the reaction, sorry if my disappointment disappoints you. We can very well use this argument to justify war
