I really enjoyed this blog. I liked especially the way you "solved" the problem of extracting water and oxygen from the environment. This is so well-written and accessible for people who don't have a technical background (me!). However, I bring a certain bias against colonialism to your piece. As far as we know there's nobody on Mars, but humans have a sorry history of arrogance when it comes to taking over other lands. You allude to that issue (tongue-in-cheek)

But just so you know, unlike the earth, other planets may not be too nice and will fight back. In the bid to screw em up, you might get screwed yourself.

in your first paragraph, but this arrogance may be the greatest danger we face. And then, when we think of how groups fought over colonized territory in the past (and still fight!)...territory that wasn't (isn't) even theirs. I don't know.

We--people-- may be the biggest obstacle to successfully colonizing any other place in the universe :))

Exactly buddy. Humans will always be human. I think "battle of territory" will be the greatest battle humans will face while terraforming Mars.. I'm already imagining that. That's one of the reasons I said that humans are known to screw up things. No wonder aliens don't talk to us, lol.

Thanks for coming around buddy
