In all honesty a moon base is harder to maintain as it’s in no atmosphere and moon dust is so fine that it gets everywhere and into everything which damages everything including critical components, it’s much finer than Mars dust.

Correction: We *don't* actually have the technology to get to Mars, much less establish a colony there. There are still huge challenges, like spacecraft radiation shielding, extreme vision degradation/eventual blindness after 6 months in zero G, damage to body systems that involved fluid (again due to low/zero G), and many technical challenges in tech relating to airlocks, robotics, etc. We might have plausible ideas about how to tackle these problems, but you never *have* the technology until you actually have it. The James Webb telescope is a perfect example: You could say we "had" the tech to build and launch the JWST in 1996 when the project began, but we did not, and ultimately it took 25 years and much, much more money than we planned for to make it happen. tl;dr - There's a big difference between having ideas about how to do something and actually possessing the tech to do it.

[@HS-ig4ly]

if we really wanted to we could 100% do it today

[@GozerTheGozerian]

@@HS-ig4ly Check out what NASA's Robert Frost has to say about this kind of claim. He's brutally honest about what it takes, even if money and manpower is not limited. The reality is some of these are really difficult problems to overcome. The eventual blindness, for example. Because we evolved on a planet with 1g, we have evolved in such a way that fluid behind our eyes pools at the bottom of sacs. When humans spend time in zero G, that fluid no longer pools and the shape of our eyes -- including the lenses -- literally deform, causing irreversible vision damage. How would you deal with that? We learned about this problem from long-term ISS missions, which is *precisely* why we have the ISS in the first place: To learn about living -- or spending long amounts of time -- in space. We need to build a moon base first and iron out all the problems we can in a "local" stage rehearsal for an eventual Mars colony. On the moon, help is only three days away and evacuation is a possibility, whereas if something goes wrong on Mars, the soonest we can get there is about 9 months, and that's only if there's perfect timing and an optimal launch window with relation to both planets' orbits. Likewise, on the moon we can learn from our mistakes while we're still protected from radiation. En route to Mars and on Mars itself, we won't be. If you want to make the claim that we could do it today, you need to explain how. The burden of proof is on you.

I hope my mental health will be good enough one day. This makes me more motivated to heal than anything else has.

[@MrMichealHouse]

You wouldn't need windows on your radiation-protected Mars bases. Extremely HD cameras that point outside connected to large window looking monitors on the inside would do the trick.

[@starmole5000]

Spot on that would go a long way to keeping people sane

[@USBEN.]

Good idea

[@twistedyogert]

The Russians had a similar idea of projecting the outside scenery onto TV screens on the inside of a Moon base. Plus, you don't even need to show the outside, you could show anything on the screen.

[@motaaaa]

And to be honest there is nothing cool to look at in mars, it's all rocks and dust/sand

[@LiveLM]

Cool idea,but what about parallax though?

[@Som3D]

Inforgraphic show: my videos are presented very nicely Kurzegzagt: hold my beer

[@kn1ght-788]

You mean very aesthetic cocktail, right?

[@Orplie]

infographic show is fine, but the different styles of animation annoy me so much lol

[@woffio]

Yeah

Humans: "Mars is toxic but somehow we will manage to feed everyone." Also humans: "Earth is a garden of food but we still can't feed everyone."

[@alarmy5211]

Us humans are smart and dumb at the same time. Yeah, we can look at single cells. Oh? Where I put my car keys? No idea. We've gotten to the moon. Hm? Whats that? Where did I leave my phone? No one knows!

[@AshenElk]

The sun rendering Earth unviable... will take a billion years. We are going to have bigger problems feeding people here in just 50 years. We have plenty of time to colonise other planets.

[@alarmy5211]

@elijah mikle good point chief, but we may still wanna fix earth AND go to mars!

The second statement is false. We produce plenty of food. Issues of people not being fed stem almost solely from terrible government policy and corruption. Also, "a person is smart, people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
