> HN just keeps delivering. It is almost impossible to believe how much embedded technical knowledge is lurking here. You could colonise Mars with it.

Of course, in this context you should be prepared for the possibility that if you could tap all that expertise what you'd actually get is "reasons that colonizing Mars actually can't work". ...hopefully not, of course, but beware mixing hopes and dreams and reality.

Something as complex as colonizing Mars would really need to be tried before anyone should claim to have expertise on if it's possible. It looks like our current technology and knowledge is up to the task, so I'd say it's worth seeing if humanity can do it.
