Oh fuck yeah I'm glad I asked. Geologyfag myself. I was offered a position for paid graduate school but I declined. I don't want to dox myself either but I will say that I would have done tourmaline geochem undergraduate research and my advisor wrote the textbook for mineralogy (there are a few so I hope this doesn't narrow it down too much for the sake of my anonymity lol). I currently have to do field camp THIS summer because it got pushed back due to the pandemic, and I have no jobs lined up so I have no clue what I'm going to do after it. I am nervous and scared but the alcohol gets me through. Wish me luck in fining a job anon

I've been to the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station and I can tell you without a doubt Mars will be better. There's actual rock to live off of. Not just a little, but all around you. You have to ship EVERYTHING into the south pole because it's a desert with altitude; a frozen wasteland where everything is covered by kilometers of ice. You don't have to deal with that on Mars. Sure, it won't be self-sufficient at first. But ISRU will likely blow up exponentially and living off the land will likely become viable within the first three generations of inhabitants
