Life on Mars: Continuing our recent Mars theme, this is a 2005 Nasa futuristic artist concept drawing of how life on the red planet might look.
It is hoped within a few decades this science fiction scene will become science fact, and life on Mars will become a reality. (Why? There are concerns the colony is needed to mitigate against a growing list of existential threats to civilization. Not the least of these is mineral and rare earths depletion, which new technologies like the Martian colony might address. We’ve previously talked about existential threats to humanity as well as concerns about peak rare earths in our previous posts on the Singularity.)
