Rebuttal: The Case for Mars Colonization

Contrary to the views of Hossenfelder and Tyson, I contend that an economic framework exists that supports a sustainable Mars colony, devoid of the need for extensive governmental assistance. Initial terraforming efforts, particularly creating a breathable atmosphere, are not as costly or complex as they suggest. Instead of pursuing full terraforming—which would indeed take centuries—we can leverage shorter-term solutions, such as partial terraforming constructs, to make Mars habitable.
