Let’s not send a few thousand people to Mars as a big experiment in survival.
The authors of the book in the article, Kelly and Zach Weinersmith, were also on an episode of Factually. Between this article and that episode, I’m pretty down on any cool scifi future in space.
Again, you keep avoiding replying directly to my points. Can you explain to me what’s wrong or absurd about my post?
I’ve been engaging with you. I’m trying to understand what exactly you want to happen. You keep mentioning how dangerous asteroids are and then casting my responses as “lol ez” or “world bad mkay” I just don’t understand what you want here. Are we not allowed to talk about asteroid habs at all because there is a hypothetical danger to them? I don’t know how to prevent people from crashing an asteroid into the Earth. But I still think the idea of asteroid habs is interesting and, because I’m not actually moving an asteroid myself, I don’t think that’s dangerous.
