A book review on the latest Weinersmith creation. It’s true, there is so much we don’t know.

Just throwing this out there on this forum because missing technology is the problem that kills the dream of Mars, according to the authors.

    exploitable resource

    Yeah… because Antarctica lacks water. And wind energy. And some of the most protein-rich waters on the planet.

    Poor, poor Phony Starks… imagine being held back by legislation they could easily bribe into non-existence if they wanted!

      Because Antarctica lacks water

      We’re not exactly hurting for water

      And some of the most protein-rich waters on the planet.

      This doesn’t require building a civilization of any sort

        Oh really?

        This doesn’t require building a civilization of any sort

        I guess you’re the kind of fantasist that believe they invent food at the supermarket, eh?

          California is a localized problem, as all water shortages are, because we live on a fucking water planet.

          Fishing does not require supermarkets. It requires driving a boat to where fish are, then driving home.

            So… not like Mars?

            It requires driving a boat

            And the boat will be useful on Mars because…?

                Pick a topic.

                Soooo… you agree that Antarctica has tons of resources which Mars doesn’t.

                Remind me… which one is your hero Phony Stark planning to build his capitalist Utopia in again?
