    I don't think you have any understanding of just how hard it is. I did the math: https://hexbear.net/comment/5484726

    To summarize, at our current energy output, it would take 4.7 billion years to create a sufficiently massive atmosphere on Mars for human habitability.

      Current energy output. We are getting closer to fusion energy every day. I'm also literally never taking a hexbear users "I did the math" comment as scientific fact.

      Don't have to terraform mars, just have to get a decent population off of one rock.

        How much more energy production is there to hit? If you increase it by a thousand times (you won't) then it will only take about 5 million years! And again, what about the energy we need on earth? The math is not complex. The energy to complete the task at hand simply isn't available to us and, on any timescale that matters, never will be.

        Don't have to terraform mars, just have to get a decent population off of one rock.

        Where are you going to put them that won't be like living in the worst prison on earth but 100x more dangerous and 10000x more isolated?

          Hey you know what isnt hard? Not replying to every user on this thread so you can hit them with an "ackshully"
