/sci/ - Science & Math

Not sure if this is /biz/ or /sci/ or a bit of both. How will money and currency change if/when we spread out to the other planets? Suppose an interplanetary humanity spread up to the Jovians with some habs and industry throughout. Trying to determine if banking/currency/economics will function the same way when it's spread across multiple worlds.

Definitely cylinders, but they're a pipe dream (pun intnded) for at least a couple hundred more years. Same goes for terraforming.
Colonizing Mars however, whether in caves or shielded surface structures is comparatively easy. We know we can get stuff to Mars, as evidenced by dozens of missions, so the only issue is to increase the volume sufficiently and develop the machinery to establish the base which all seems fairly straightforward. If Musk can get Starship to work (or somebody else creates something as cheap) I see no reason why we can't have a Mars colony by 2050. It's a funding issue, we already have 90% of the required technology.

How about no.
