The tool doesnt have to know its a tool
have you ever thought about Mars?
The poisonous ground killing off everything, of course the radioactivity will be far faster.
The only way to survive is in underground systems,
shielded and provided with essentials that have to be stored in advance.
I just wonder; and its quite boring so to say, it bores me a lot-
why take the effort and go to Mars for this,
when i can win a nuclear war here on earth and make use of the technologies developped?
The ships?
I bet some of the chosen ones dont want to take the risk,
a well planned orbital cruise could be up there for decades, maybe even generational-
re-entry succesfully tested.
On planet Earth.
What planet are we really heading for?
