IS SETTLING MARS REAL?

Are the Mars settlement imaginers and promoters not paying attention?

Are they refusing to recognize the long-term reality of the goal?

“The astronauts have been going through at least two hours of strength and conditioning training daily, working with NASA’s medical team to rebuild muscle mass, restore their balance in Earth’s gravity, and prevent further bone loss.”

“The fatigue and extreme muscle loss, seen in photos after their landing, left Williams unable to get out of bed easily for weeks after the space mission.”

Human beings evolve over thousands of generations and adapting to environmental changes that need adapting to, as I generally understand things. Are those who propose the settling of Mars choosing to ignore this hard to ignore fact of human biology on planet earth? Can this cold hard fact of human existence be accelerated in order to adapt to the increased radiation and gravity differences on the planet Mars?

And that is not taking into consideration the nonexistence of a breathable atmosphere among several other extreme condition concerns.

Not to mention this psychological potential: “You’re thrown together day and night seven days a week at 24 hours a day, and just like any family there’s a point where something rubs you the wrong way or something – that happens anywhere,’ Wilmore noted.”

And this is not based on multiple years in space, this is based on mere months in space.

Am I just being a bit too cautious and cynical here?

People love concepts and goals, that is what progress is based on. But there comes a line where money and technology just may not be able to overcome evolution and time. There is a plethora of life on earth for a very specific reason.

And I am not saying to not attempt going to Mars and develop it, but there is a line when it comes to long term habitation IMO.

Are you paying attention yet America? JGL 5/30/25
