NOTES FROM AN APOCALYPSEMark O’ConnellGrantaREVIEWED BY CLIVE TROTMANWhy is so much nonsense talked about humans colonising Mars, come some impending apocalypse? Talk of terraforming Mars when we cannot even terraform our own planet is beyond the wildest hallucination. Surviving in a few air-tight huts, totally dependent on supplies from Earth every two years (as constrained by orbital mechanics) is not colonisation. No worries mate, people have thought about all this, and the super-rich are prepping for it. The end of the world it beginning to sound so ho-hum, I think I will record it to watch later.
