Has anyone compared the difficulty of terraforming Mars versus colonizing Antarctica and the oceans? How exactly might you colonize Antarctica and the oceans? I'm looking for some analogue of Robert Zubrin's "The Case for Mars."

Hehe. Yes, there are definitely other problems to be addressed. But going into space helps with some of them. It also nicely "diversifies" the human "portfolio".

BTW, I highly doubt it will be possible to stop AI and nanotech from developing. Ultimately, machines or biomachines will take over. The question is how human-like those machines will be.
