Probably not. Harmful radiation and extreme temps would probably kill most thing but to quote the inimitable Dr. Ian Malcom: “life uoogh… life finds a way…”
So maybe we’d get some shitty mars potatoes to fight in a JRPG in the coming future.
Edit: I still think Venus is a much better candidate for possible extraterrestrial bases simply because it is about the same mass as earth and has an atmosphere and magnetosphere.
Float some fucking ballon villages in that bitch.
I think a lot of people forget in discussing mars as the end all be all of the first stepping stone forget that it’s a fourth the size of earth and (maybe even more inhospitable to life on the surface) than Venus could be in the clouds.
Also I am probably more informed than those rich assholes who stole all our wealth so maybe we just kill E. Coli Musk amd its cohorts and repurpose the entity of Musk’s unearned wealth into making this perfectly usable planet (Earth) sustainably usable.
Personally, I don’t think our future lies in any planetary gravity well at all. The larger the gravity well, the more difficult and expensive it is to escape from, and there’s no particular resource available there that we can’t get from the asteroid belt or the other moons in the system.
Our own moon gives us the low gravity and easy escape vectoring to get us to the asteroid belt. The asteroid blt gives us the resources to continue outwards to the Jovian and Saturnian moons and the zero gee necessary to easily construct ships/habitats of any size we want without worrying about escaping a gravity well.
Gravity is the hard part. Why would be spend billions to escape one gravity well just to sink ourselves down into another when an orbital habitat can be much better regulated to our needs.
