Ask HN: Where Are All the Parties?

We introverts will make great residents of Mars. People always talk about how impossible it’ll be for humans to live there in relative isolation. Those people are obviously normals, and they always assume the others like us don’t count. I’d do just fine with myself or a small number of close partners for the rest of my life. Further, a lot of folks on the spectrum wouldn’t do _just_ fine, they would do better.. A planet for the neurodiverse seems like a great thing.

I think the relative isolation is one of the smallest challenges related to colonizing Mars.

Yes, I didn’t rank it in the challenges, just that it’s always brought up.

Non-introverts are not "normals". They're just louder and pushier and invade your personal space more than others.

I really don't like it when they invade my personal space

I think the opposite might be true. As an introvert how would you like living in a cramped 4-6 bedroom apartment with other engineers and constantly working together to troubleshoot, build up & repair the station facilities, doing time-delay media interviews, reporting results to multiple science orgs, etc?
