   Perhaps it would be fine if we "terraform" our own planet...

     @gallux89 That still wouldn't hedge our bets against a disaster not of our own making. Besides, we could learn a lot about sustainability.

     @gallux89 If Mars is our development trunk, we can backport fixes to Earth's stable branch.

     @gallux89 I think we would unavoidably learn a lot. The question is cost vs benefit, but I think funding won't compete w/ other sustainable.

     @clacke When governments stop to think in "cost/benefit" logics, we would learn something. But politics are too short-term based....

     @gallux89 cost/benefit is essential. The alternative is gut reaction and wasteful useless projects.
