    I never got what he was thinking with the colonizing Mars stuff, Northern Ontario is uncolonized (Endless swamps and frozen wasteland but lots of animals and minerals) But you’re going to jump to a place you can’t even breathe with no natural resources!?!

      Antarctica is even more uninhabited and he could build 10 cities there for the same price as one small Mars colony.
      And it’s warmer, the air is breathable, and only takes a few hours to get to on a plane instead of months in space.
      Anything built to survive the surface of Mars would work on Antarctica for a fraction of the cost.
