Let me disabuse you of the idea that a Martian colony is the way to save mankind.
Survival on Mars is 1000x more difficult with no free flowing water, no atmosphere, no ozone, no magnetosphere, much less solar radiation to power anything including biological life.
Choosing Mars is picking the absolute worst probability to beat gambler's ruin.
Even a 3' warmer Earth is better.
The first IQ test is to stop pursuing stupid ideas as a magic bullet.
I love the idea of this "What is a #fact?" #humanities course aimed at #STEM students (as described in @TheConversationUS) and absolutely wish I could read the whole syllabus!
