About habitats playing a role in terraforming Mars.

im afraid i dont have any links to any of those studies.

the things is that the greatest loss will occur in the first part of
that time frame. the larger the atmosphere, the more surface that is
exposed to the solar wind and the lower the gravity at that distance,
the more of it that is pulled away by the solar wind.

also the atituded that we are not responsible for our decendants is
like saying that we have enough oil to get by, there is no need to do
research to find alternatives because our decendants will have to do
the research or do without energy. by the time they need it, they dont
have time to do the research. I dont know about you, but a lot of us
want our children to have things better than us, not worse.
