I'll look into Mr. Velikovsky. And I hadn't considered that about Mars. 🤔 I was always aware that we would never be able to survive in large numbers up on the surface due to it's thin atmosphere and virtually no protection from its radiation, but I had always imagined that, perhaps, small settlements may be a slim possibility.

it's the same deal with space travel.... the only viable shield is gigatons of lead or a magnetic field

space is a brutal place, intense vacuum, radiation everywhere, and magnetic fields dancing aronud like sumbiches

the only way we survive into the future beyond our current disaster cycle is by sheer luck and/or we have enough energy to encapsulate ours living areas with magnetic fields strong enough to deflect the radiation and hold up against the magnetic fluxes of the space around us

that basically means either antimatter or something else similarly nearly limitless

I'm going with the luck option. Even if they do develop antimatter tech, they won't share it with us.

well, i'm going that way too

my image involves underground domes clad in ionising radiation protective tin, high up in the mountains, far away from the sea, and i hope to build enough space out that i can have many guests when trouble comes
