Instead of trying to make Mars hospitable, it would be easier to prevent the Earth from becoming inhospitable.
what she says: i’m fine
what she means: isn’t it crazy how the derivative of e^x is e^x? That’s such an arbritrary number isn’t it? At the same time it’s not, though. Because at any point on e^x, the slope is equal to e^x. But at the same time, the integral of e^x is also e^x. so not only is the slope of e^x e^x, the area underneath the graph of e^x is also e^x. Does that not blow your fucking mind?
In whatever you choose to do, do it because it’s hard, not because it’s easy. Math and physics and astrophysics are hard. For every hard thing you accomplish, fewer other people are out there doing the same thing as you. That’s what doing something hard means. And in the limit of this, everyone beats a path to your door because you’re the only one around who understands the impossible concept or who solves the unsolvable problem.

How many academics does it take to change a lightbulb: one post-doc to write the grant application, three grad students to do the work, and one PI to take the credit
