So would you? Would you travel to the Orange Planet and risk you life on a Pioneer Base in order to build a world of dreams and miracles for future generations?
>Deep, buried 'nearly pure ice' glaciers spotted on Mars
>Buried glaciers have been spotted on Mars, offering new hints about how much water may be accessible on the [Orange] Planet and where it is located, researchers said Thursday.
>Although ice has long been known to exist on Mars, a better understanding of its depth and location could be vital to future human explorers, said the report in the U.S. journal Science.
Miracles don't exist, that's why they're called miracles.

The only reason they made Neo Venezia was because Earth was so fucked up. Nature was gone, Venezia was but a distant memory. If we start terraforming Mars now, the only people who'd go there are influencers and Youtubers for that epic likes and views

aria thread? space thread? hope for humanity thread?
It's one of those where you absolutely have to have the physical tankoubon, no matter how cancerous the localisation is. So Tokyo Pop or whoever, it matters little. Just buy it
Blake Perry
A while ago an Yea Forumsnon shared a version of the manga with President Aria meticulously edited out of every panel. That's the best version.
Lincoln Butler
This, it was fun
John Perez
>hope for humanity AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Hunter Kelly
Sure, we have to ensure a future where the Undines are reality. Also, when Akari timetraveled to the pioneering era of Mars, things didn't look particularly bleak but that might've just been the pink filter over everything she experiences.
How can a single anime have so many 10/10 episodes? Currently rewatching Aria and this episode made me cry like a bitch. I know I'm going to be a wreck with so many more episodes I haven't gotten to yet.
If you hate President Aria you're a heathen. He's one of the best parts of the series. That being said the edit is talking about made for a great thread. I wish I still had it downloaded as the Yea Forumsnon who made it did an amazing job.
Wait until you get to Athena episodes lmao, especially the OVAs
Christopher Long
There's so many episodes I'm looking forward to. I'm getting close to the gondola retirement two parter and I know that's gonna make me an emotional wreck.
>100 years Try 1000. We've been fumbling around trying to get men past the Moon for 50 years now. Why do you think we'd be able to terraform a planet that soon?
Gavin Collins
A lot of tech in Aria is pretty much magic. Like gravity generators. We are nowhere near. Even creating thicker atmosphere won't solve things like .38G or lack of radiation protecting magnetosphere.
Josiah Gray
Hope is irrational
Connor Roberts
Couldn't you create a gravitational affect by contracting space fast enough?
>for future generations? So you're asking to devote my whole life for hard work on dead planet so the future generations can pick fruits and live in a literally heaven? Then no, I'm not devoting my life for something like that, either I can experience that or I don't care.
Hudson Sanchez
And a lot of current tech looks like magic to past generations. The question is why should anyone care if three m2 flat and vr headset would be cheaper and better then terraforming entire planet.
Xavier Murphy
The gravity generators were some kind of momentum devices that moved around extremely heavy weights. Not quite magic, although pretty close.
Brody Reed
That's what a lot of people say but in reality we use things like chemical propellant speeding up bullets for centuries now. AR-15 is in service for 70 years.
A lot of 70's sci-fi had shit like flying cars and holograms and we can't even do that. Progress is slowing down. We couldn't even go back to the Moon for half a century.
Ryan Butler
>we use things like chemical propellant speeding up bullets for centuries now Gun powder has changed though Old gun powder made a lot of smoke and had a risk of igniting randomly.
Cooper Perez
We have holograms
Caleb Thompson
This, the "time to retire the gondola", the one where they paint the pole in front of Aria company, original Grandma episode, Alice's graduation, the Galaxy railway and the one with the summer mirage bar are all genuinely memorable anime episodes
It's really better not to pay attention to all of that, really. Like how much of Neo Venezia is supposed to have been salvaged from original Venice except it's been mixed with new materials and in non-lagoon water. Or how the Sun looks as far as we see it from Earth or how there's literally just one chapter where you can see that Mars actually has two moons and the farther one looks pretty much like our moon and not a small, distant, asteroid-shaped body.
Progress isn’t slowing down, but it is being redirected. During the 60s and 70s, people dreamed of flying cars, and obviously that never came to pass (yet).
But during the late 80s/early 90s, technologists accurately predicted the arc and timeline for machine learning/artificial intelligence, with AI really coming into its own in the 2030s. So something like Aqua isn’t inconceivable, though AI would take the lead in terraforming Mars.
John Wright
Will I find a girlfriend like Akari there? No? Then there you have your answer. Fuck Mars.
But that is also slowing down. Computers are advancing slower and slower, quantum computers still have a ton of problems and automation is not as fast as predicted.
