Time to build cities in Antarctica.
Wild take but hear me out - if we're serious about becoming a multi-planetary species, we should probably figure out how to build sustainable settlements in Earth's harshest environments first.
Antarctica is basically a testbed for Mars colonization. Extreme cold, isolated supply chains, resource scarcity, hostile environment. Same challenges, lower stakes.
Plus with climate change accelerating, we might actually unlock new habitable zones there within decades. The geopolitical race for Antarctic territory is already heating up behind closed doors.
Network states, charter cities, special economic zones - the next frontier might not be digital or off-planet. It might be frozen.
Who's building the infrastructure layer for this? 🧊
