    Yeah, I figured Mars would be an underground territory since that seems to be where any nutrients might be anyway. Trying to form an atmosphere there suitable for life is likely impossible, but cave cities would be theoretically doable.

    Although I don’t know how I feel about terraforming other planets in general. Humans have destroyed this one so much that I feel like giving us another is akin to not teaching a child not to destroy their stuff. On the other hand, it would just be cool to see what humans have accomplished.

      Yes I agree. This terraforming stuff just seems crazy. Frankly the big deal about mars is that it has good access to space but is a real planet. I think it would be much nicer to live on a space station in orbit of the moon or mars rather then on either. At least on a huge space station you can have 1G or 0.5G gravity or something plus build the world you want.
