to dig it another 20km deeper and then the pressure will be high enough at the bottom to not need a pressure suit.

We will never colonise Mars. The planet is dead and inhospitable.

20 km deep
approx 4.15*10^ 6 km^2 area
total volume : 83 000 000 km^ 3

83000000 km^ 3 of martian rocks
Do you have the most remote idea of how much energy do you need to dig that?

Dude he wants to bombard it with asteroids. Nevermind how we'd achieve that, it would envelop the planet in a dust blanket for hundreds of years. Probably would make landing there impossible.

If you wall the whole state of washington with 436 kilometers tall walls (as high as the aurora borealis) and then fill with rocks, there you will have the ammount of dirt you need to remove. Good luck exploding that without breaking mars in hallf or catapulting it away from our solar system.

>weak gravity
we've had plans for rotating permanent habitats for decades-the tech involved isn't even hard,you see this shit at carnivals all over the place.
>thin poisonous atmosphere
we build living spaces under the ocean and keep people alive on a space station long term. come on.
>showered in radiation
you pile on regolith and don't spend too much time outside
>too cold
not an issue, even a passively insulated shelter is fine
>global dust storms
lol just clean off the panels

Why bother with Mars then?
The moon and Mercury are far better destinations

I want the colonization of mars to be the new wild west; first come, first served.
Space x, nasa and china start landing to grab land, just for russia to show up 5 years later and annex everything.

That is more or less how Heinlein envisaged it. Just like the net, corporations will take over in the end.

They probably will. And they also want to explore more of the areas and will have to leave the base.

¿does this image give you a boner?

Yes, a boner is all it takes to gather enough motivation to terraform Mars, that's why human kind will go on with the desire and pursue terraformation.

I find it weird people even bother to try and colonize planets. If you build ships you can go anywhere. If you design humans to survive in space they can become gods.
