Was this simulation just based on population growth or did it also take into account genetic variation which I believe is also critical for certain aspects of a species survival?
You could have read the article. It's based on technical skills, social situations. Not long term population growth.
For me it is the terminology. I thought colonisation was the long term goal of staying more permanently vs a mission which is for a finite period such as this simulation. Had not seen the 28 year limit which makes it more a mission than colonisation. Happy to be corrected.
yeah, but then the headline would not be so clickbaity and attracted less clicks than this "new alabama" suggestion. what are you not getting there? it wasn't mistake 😂
@ApeNo1@throws_lemy Genetic variation is not an issue. Just send frozen embryos.
They are probably going to be all cis women, anyway (we are the smaller ones consuming less resources).
Nah, we'll just build a bigger spaceship so we can send 22 penis on mars.
None of the above. New colonists were randomly generated by the environment for a 28 year simulation.
