Low quality thread, but yeah, self-sustaining probably isn't viable until 2100 at the least.

Sorry, I will make up for that by opening an IQ thread later.

There's no such thing as a self sustaining city. Not on Mars, not on Earth. They are inherently parasitic.

Why would you want the future shown in The Expanse anyways? The vast majority of humanity in this setting lives in very shitty conditions.

Also Elon Musk = Julies-Pierre Mao

hypothetically speaking for this to work you need to recycle every single organic compound; dead bodies need to be ground and put on soil before decomposing (bacteria too slow), shit must be treated and put on soil (bacteria too slow), uric acid must be broken into ammonia or something else and put in soil, minerals in piss, so many things. plants aren't going to magically fuse carbon into nitrogen and potassium

really good nuclear fusion or really good molecular assemblers could get us pretty close to self sustaining mars colonies. Really good fusion lets you brute force stuff by just using more power. Getting some rare ass element you need to make more fusion reactors? Fusion torch and mass spec dirt. This is impractical today because it takes a lot of power, but if you have really good, like really really fucking good fusion, then power is cheap enough to do this. With really good molecular assemblers you can carry an entire industrial base to Mars in very few rocket launches. Both of these are unlikely though and saying new tech will solve it without specifying which tech is NPC thinking like you have described.

OP is right an surely has an in-depth understanding of the engineering challenges required for offworld and cis-lunar sapce colonies.
