Lie back and think of Mars
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 29, 2022
“You want to wake up in the morning and think the future is going to be great – and that’s what being a spacefaring civilization is all about. It’s about believing in the future and thinking that the future will be better than the past. And I can’t think of anything more exciting than going out there and being among the stars.” -Elon Musk
Mars is one of Earth’s nearest livable neighbors, at a distance of 140 million miles. Because Mars is nearly half as far away from the Sun as Earth, it nevertheless receives adequate sunlight. It’s a little chilly, but we can get it warmed up. Because its atmosphere is mostly CO2, with traces of nitrogen, argon, and a few other trace components, we may grow plants on Mars simply by compressing the atmosphere. Because the gravity on Mars is about 38% that of Earth, you’d be able to carry large objects and bound around. Furthermore, the day is strikingly similar to Earth’s.
