That's just a matter of circumstance. How many of them would stay that way if you knew them?
I usually don't have a problem with persons individually. But as a herd animal, people suck.

Where does this scene rank on the list of most paused moments in the series?
The why of mass is "just" more material within the same unit area.
What always gets me is how adding one more of the pieces of matter, specifically another proton, changes the very properties of that atom, sometimes dramatically.
Clicking on newer revision lets you walk through time.
It's not about finding habitat, but a large scale version of kill or be killed, or stay quiet and hope they don't see you.
Definitely not to enslave. The path that the 3 Body Problem goes down is a science-based eldritch horror.
Yes, the problem was solved.

Oh no.
I knew I remembered that name. Great book and reference.
I was with Pizza Hut when we got that directive of empowerment to do what was best to retain the customer. No manager needed for most things, just treat them well. We had a lot of regular customers, I wonder why. That was a long time ago.
Escaping from one gravity well to go to another gravity well that is far more deadly is foolish. Both Mars and the Moon, as well as probably any body that doesn't have some sort of erosion mechanic, has fine, sharp dust which is terrible on both equipment and biology.
I still am a believer just as I was a 70s kid that O'Neill was on the right track, and space is the next logical place for humanity. What has changed over the decades is my belief that we can get there. Not because of the science or the technology, but because of our tendency to focus resources on other things that don't help anyone. The window is all but shut on space now. And any billionaires that send people to Mars in some grand colonization scheme are just dooming them and wasting more on their own ego.
So whatever happens now, humanity will have its eggs in one basket, and that basket does have an expiration date.

The north polar area is where Arrakeen and other settlements are. They are the more pleasant areas, they only have to close up during the hotter parts of the day.
The equator is where the constant sand storms occur that are "impassable". One thing I didn't realize, Arrakis isn't large, it's about the size of the Moon, but more dense, so the gravity is about 0.9 of Earth.
