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.

    Right, but his thought process was that Mars was somehow immune to asteroid impacts and that made it safer. Like, he hadn’t considered that a single unfortunate event was possible. It’s ironically safer here on Earth but thought this planet had nothing going for it.

    The point isn’t whether or not it could happen, the point is that it hadn’t crossed his mind and was jumping in with two feet at the idea.

      Maybe, I try not to jump to conclusions based on my speculation on others’ thought processes.

        And that’s fine, but don’t assume that’s what people do. You do you. I wouldn’t say otherwise if he hadn’t been explicit about it.
