It's terrifying because why would this have evolved?
I find this both reassuring and terrifying. It's reassuring because if life was completely wiped out on the planet there would be trillions of seeds waiting for the right conditions to germinate and repopulate the Earth with life. It's terrifying because why would this have evolved?

This isn't the first mass extinction the planet has seen.

Yep. This is why I am dead set on one of those tickets to Mars.
You have seen what Mars looks like right? That planet had way more potential for you to perish than this one

On top of that, Antarctica has a breathable atmosphere, and water. Mars does not have a breathable atmosphere, and if it has water, it does not have water in an easily accessible form. Mars also has 2.5x the radiation one would experience orbiting the Earth, or approximately 35x the radiation one would generally experience on Earth.
We would literally have to destroy Earth before Mars becomes a more viable option for continued human existence.

Its crazy how everyone sees mars as some kind of safety rope when climate change goes bad. Surviving on mars would be 100x harder than the worst case scenario for life on earth.
Though to be viable as a backup for our species the colony would have to be able to survive, as well as be genetically viable, completely solo. Such preparation might include a "seed" vault for both plants and life, as well as a Horizon Zero Dawn style repository of all human knowledge. BTW that would also be a great international education standard for children even without it's use in the Doomsday setting.

We should be shaming them for wasting money vs. spending those billions to force real change on Earth to fix the climate situation here which will come due long before any off world living will be anywhere close to reality.
