Subject: Re: To infinity and beyond

On the science board, I posted an article about that (i.e. we will never be able to colonize anywhere).

Yes, we've long known the logistical and scientific problems with having a Martian colony, but we like our Science Fiction. IIRC Isaac Asimov wrote about the problems, but we either invent some shield, bury the colony far below the surface, and ignore the rest. Musk is aware, I'm sure, but likes to talk.
