Actually, it’s a lot better to dig, free radiation shield!

Mood debuff from the game Rimworld where if you spend too long without going outside, you get a severe penalty.
In other words, being underground for long (or indefinite) periods would probably have a profoundly negative effect on people’s moods.
That’s why it is important to do sociological testing on earth first. Putting groups of humans in, let’s call them vaults, to test reactions to isolation and lack of surface contact.
Yes, yes and then we do experiments on them without their knowledge to gauge how they react as opposed to control vaults. We should also name this department something fitting. Since they’re working on new technologies with vaults maybe something like… Vault-tec
I see, what’s the mood debuf for radiation poisoning? :)
Depending on the severity the mood should switch back to zero rather quickly
Ironically, it’s called toxic buildup and it can be less than being underground :)
My plan is to use concentrated sunlight to tunnel directly through an asteroid and use the material to build a small O’Neill cylinder inside. The rest of the rock would provide radiation shielding so the cylinder would be cheaper to construct, and we can send sunlight into the cylinder from either end using the same mirrors we carved the asteroid with.
Lol, we ain’t making it off earth, especially not Venus
I remember reading some old sci-fi that thought Venus was going to be paradise. The next earth.
Then they found out how awful it really was.
Yeah, lot of “Alien from venus!!” stuff. Too bad all the planets and moons are FAR from hospitable, we’d be better off fixing our own planet than trying to build a new one from scratch
Yeah but people and corporations would have to change and that’s too difficult instead we should do something easy like colonize another planet. /s

In case you’re like my space friends who want this as a poster
Most vermin on this planet reflexively build nests all over the place to accommodate population growth. Its a sickness
City planners wouldn’t allow more buildings on Earth…
But we need to build more pylons (into space)!
