  1. If anything, we should talk about how we can get robots and AI powerful enough so we can send them up there to build on their own (means the can also build more robots and repair themselves. As long as we don't have this, any other idea won't work by the fact alone, that you simply don't have the tools to make any of that possible. And a start wouldn't be to terraform Mars, but to let these robots build massive underground constructions, which then MAYBE could be used as biospheres IF Mars got water and everything else needed to create these. And when I say biospheres, I mean something big enoug, that peopel who are living there can forget about being surrounded by death, else they will quickly go nuts. Even the journey to Mars will be a nightmare if you can't just sleep the whole time or you got a spaceship big enough to be pretty much a small town. This is not compareable to the ISS, where you are constantly just some hours away from earth. You would be in super death space for monthes with pretty much nothing around you and no escape. Only very few people could take that.

  2. Hard to make Marts any more toxic than it already is. Overall, if we can't save earth, we for sure can't make Mars habitable. If anything, sending self-suffisant robots to Mars to then build on their own and in that process maybe create underground biospheres could work.

  3. Still like Bezos reply, as he was asked about his Mars ambitions, that he tells anyone who wants to colonize Mars to start living on top of Mount Everest first - what is MUCH easier.

  4.  @BarrGC  I mean, you will simply die, so... well, yeah. Can have that easier on earth, so and likely more humane...
