Comment on A Parallel World?
Spotted_Lady@wolfballs.com 2 years agoBy underground, I meant literally underground, not as a metaphor for clandestine. I wouldn't know how folks could avoid detection of newly created cities like that. A supply chain would be one of the hardest parts, and that causes the next problem of security. Ingress and egress would be a problem. And if others find out it exists, you'd have the same shit as now.
The above would be the problems I'd have with moving to Mars. You'd need all cities to be underground, using only the surface for energy production and waste management, and only done by the highly qualified.

So you need a lot of engineers to make that happen.

Yes, but doing that using both definitions of "underground" would be hard. As bad as the construction would be and making it not collapse, the real problem would be the logistics of living in your hidden cities. I mentioned supply chains, ingress, egress, and security, and yes, there is more to it. Sanitation would be a major concern. And preventing annexation into any existing government.
Underground cities have been done in the past, and every once in a while, someone discovers one. One thing they always do wrong is blab.

Plus you would be labelled as morlocks or troglodytes.

Health is another concern. Rigging up UV lighting and taking vitamin D is only part of the remedy.
