That's just dumb on so many levels. First, humans do live in the arctic:

Are they actually in the arctic? I genuinely thought they and the tip of Greenland were below the arctic circle.

[Anonymous No.10751775]

It'll be generic garbage. It'll sell like hotcakes.

[Anonymous No.10751882]

>>10751768
Well thats just the thing, there's no drawing an objective line about where the arctic begins. In just the same manner though there's no objectively drawing Mars outside the scope of potentially habitable when places that were otherwise so inhospitable to even pre-technological hominids have been settled

[Anonymous No.10751919]

>>10751882

Humans could live on Mars even with today's technology, it would just cost a lot of resources and effort. I consider Mars a hospitable planet to life because there's many microorganisms that could survive on Mars, and lichens that exist on Earth today can survive a Martian environment. Not hospitable to us maybe, but nonetheless its still a habitable planet to some lifeforms.

Bullshit, we don't know what effect the lower gravity will have on our organisms.

[Anonymous No.10752369]

>>10752337

That can be solved by constructing a rotating ring at an angle to the ground to create pseudo-gravity. Like I said, hard, but doesn't require any new technology.

>That can be solved by constructing a rotating ring at an angle to the ground to create pseudo-gravity.

I heard this solution and its retarded. Low-g may have some health complivations, maybe, but I sincerely doubt it would ever require any need for such grand solutions

Will the Vatican be sending priests and bishops to Mars? Will the there be an interplanetary diocese?

[Anonymous No.10752449]

>>10752401

Maybe it does maybe it doesn't, that guy said "we don't know what effect the lower gravity will have on our organisms" so I accounted for the worst case scenario and showed there was still a way around it. And its not really *that* grand - to the people living there making such a structure could be worth it for the comfort of gravity their bodies were designed to be in. I don't know, just saying.

Gravity is a field so that means everything in your body, including chemical reactions and blood flow will be affected by it, It would probably have some pretty big effect on health.

[Anonymous No.10752544]

>>10752516
It was worried before the Apollo missions that stomach acid would seep up the Astronauts throats killing them among other issues. We have seen however that humans can survive for several years in effective zero gravity without any fatal cases. Complications, of course, but nothing tremendously bad.
On sub-Earth gravity the problems should become exponentially less serious.

We'll just genetically engineer their children to make them more suited to the Martian environment. It'll be in the future after all.

I have read The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch and I KNOW things aren't going to be even as nearly fun as time in a martian colony was in that book. It's going to be hellish, brutal and unyielding misery for a long, long time.

The only literary work created on Mars will be the logs of the AI system watching Musk, Bezos, and Gates reenact 120 Days of Sodom on the rest of the human race. It'd be entitled 1,200 Years of Olympus Mons if language still existed.
