I don't think we should ever really entertain that.
I mean, Mars is a shit planet.
I mean, it's really a shitty place to live.
I mean, good place to visit.
You know, it doesn't... Yeah, once you've seen the tourist spots, it's kind of boring.
Well, first of all, as a goal, I think it's really, really hard.
I don't even think it needs to be a goal because, you know, and I called Mars a shit planet, right?
You think we got problems here on Earth, like with Mars.
I mean, no matter how bad it gets on Earth, it's always going to be easier to live on Earth.
I mean, even if the big rock hits or we have the super volcano, it will always be easier to survive here for some people than it will be for anybody to survive on Mars long term.
I mean, you know, Mars is, you know, the atmosphere is 90, you know, I don't know, 97%, 98% carbon dioxide.
And I'm fine.
So it can't be that hard.
No, it's less than 1%.
Even in LA.
Even in LA, you know, we've got, you remember that whole thing about like 80% nitrogen, about 20% oxygen?
yeah that adds up to about a hundred percent the carbon dioxide despite going up a lot right trillions of tons of carbon and that is regardless of what non-scientific people say about this that's causing our planet to heat up the martian atmosphere is almost all carbon dioxide
So it would be really, really hard to live there for an extended period of time.
