Well why don't we establish a base first, then I'll think about it

Literally this

>bone atrophy
Why is that important when you don't NEED bone density in low-gravity environments, you fucking moron?

And that's why humans should build CAVES into the sides of Mars' canyons (including the biggest one which is over 4x as deep as the Grand Canyon) to protect us from too much solar radiation.

That's why you build caves into the side of Martian canyons.

You're too stupid to be worth my time

>>9263497
Growing stuff requires space and soil, and the Martian surface has both of those things

I'm not talking about mass migration to Mars you fucking moron, I'm talking about scientists getting there and establishing a base

AND I LITERALLY FUCKING SAID "IT MIGHT COME LATER, IF THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO DESPERATELY WANT TO RELOCATE TO MARS"

LEARN TO FUCKING READ YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORON

I watched a video recently where a scientist (I think from NASA) said that if we colonise Mars, we should build caves into the side of canyons (of which there are many on Mars).

This is how humans used to live, inside caves on Earth.

On Mars it would offer numerous advantages:
- Protection from cosmic radiation
- Protection from wild fluctuations in temperature (since Mars gets very cold)
- Protection from meteorites I guess

The Valles Marineris is a huge canyon on Mars which covers a massive amount of its surface, and it is up to 8km deep, compared to the Grand Canyon which is only 1.8km deep. If you build caves into the side of this canyon, you'd be well sheltered from a lot of stuff.

Also regarding Venus - the surface of Venus will of course kill you. The pressure at the surface is 90x greater than on Earth, so you'd die instantly from that. Plus of course 450 degree C temperatures, and sulphuric acid rain.

Yes I'm aware of the idea of having "floating cities" 50km above the surface, where the pressure is less, and the temperatures are much cooler. But still, surely Mars would be preferable to this - Mars provides lots of land where you can grow crops. Yes, you can apparently grow crops in Martian soil: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/06/160627095316.htm
