A book review on the latest Weinersmith creation. It’s true, there is so much we don’t know.

Just throwing this out there on this forum because missing technology is the problem that kills the dream of Mars, according to the authors.

    We’re not exactly hurting for water

    Oh really?

    This doesn’t require building a civilization of any sort

      California is a localized problem, as all water shortages are, because we live on a fucking water planet.

      Fishing does not require supermarkets. It requires driving a boat to where fish are, then driving home.

            Pick a topic.

            Soooo… you agree that Antarctica has tons of resources which Mars doesn’t.

            Remind me… which one is your hero Phony Stark planning to build his capitalist Utopia in again?
