Colonization
Did the Encyclopedia literally state that humans settled on Luna, Mars and the Jovian Moons within a single year? I'm asking this because I would assume that colonization of other planets is a slow, deliberate process that needs to be done gradually. Does it really make sense that we'd just colonize every possible world right away without first trying it out on the Moon and then Mars? Not to mention the logistical problems that come with colonizing 3+ worlds at the same time with limited resources. Again, humanity has no prior experience on interplanetary colonization at this point. I don't think the most plausible idea at a situation like this is just to go in and start settling every possible planet/moon in the system.

Now, if the Encyclopedia says the humans began settling all of the aforementioned worlds within the 2080's, that makes more sense, though I think even a single decade is a stretch. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 18:21, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
