Space Colonization and the Climate Crisis – How we could build a Mars base today
Do we have to consider a Mars or Moon base in light of climate change, and could we do it in time?
It seems perverted to explore space colonization only for means to secure our, and other species, yet this is the next logical step to advance our civilization, and maybe we will learn something important along the way.
Space exploration, people living in a colony, their stories and ideas, may also make our society more aware to the fragility of Earth.
