Stuck here? Humans probably came from mars after they fucked that planet's atmosphere. Why do we wanna go back lol.
But so was I. I was planning on modeling the colony off of the city of Portland. You would have been stuck in it. I suppose you could have gone 10 miles north across the dry ancient river bed and created a shitty Vancouver on Mars?
We should all be reasonable and colonize the moon after we expel the aliens. Actually NASA should explore the oceans and initiate a study for colonies. After world wide nuke destruction, that would be the only safe place.
The only 'shitty' that could describe a city is the homeless literally shitting on the sidewalks in Portland. Portland. Not Vancouver.
That's what humans do. We're almost like a virus. 3 planets are in the Sol system's Goldilocks zone. Venus, Earth, and Mars. All three of them are rocky planets. Venus' atmosphere is due to a runaway greenhouse effect. Mars is just fucked. Humans want to act like they know but nobody knows how we got on this planet. Nobody knows who did whatever to the other two planets in our Goldilocks zone. It is conceivable to say that we fucked those planets up before we got to Earth.
Not enough funding? Just wait until they discover an asteroid the size of Texas that's taking aim at our sweet little planet and see how fast Congress decides to up the NASA budget. Especially if they' get a few seats reserved for themselves on the first shuttle.
Are you referring to Scientology? I wouldn't pay your money for that shit. Here's the thing, Humans can talk till their blue in the face and can believe whatever they want. But the fact of the matter is NOBODY knows for sure how and when we got to this planet. God could exist. He/She could also be non corporeal alien being a million years old that did some planetary experiment. The fact is nobody knows.
d..... Give our governments a few years and every square inch 0f land ocean and atmosphere can be fucked up for our future generations.
