Very appropriate! btw what do you think of this assertion, I admit it surprised me because I thought terraforming was a fairly reasonable concept - http://poisonedminds.com/comics/Filler20220529.png
The topic of terraforming Mars didn't really come up in the various discussions I've been in or been witness to. At this point the feasibility of just getting people to survive on Mars isn't quite settled, at least with current technology.
I wouldn't dismiss the possibility out of hand, but I also wouldn't fault anyone for their skepticism.

Excellent, never heard of that before but it does look interesting. I have one more question and then I'll stop bothering you, what do you think of the ʻOumuamua incident, definitely natural or just maybe there was something more to it? It was definitely odd, of that there's no doubt.
What I've heard is it was likely radiation pressure or possibly outgassing. Something similar ended up explaining anomalous acceleration of the Pioneer probes.
Every time we've observed the surface of an object we haven't gotten a close look at before, we find we've been wrong about something, such as Pluto being more geologically active than expected.

Thanks, it was certainly an interesting few days when it was detected though! And yes a good reason to keep looking an exploring, I've never really understood why people find space, and well science in general, uninteresting. The hexagonal clouds at Saturn's north pole were another eyebrow raising discovery.
