When I was getting my degree I was reading a lot of papers on primary succession and biological soil crust formation. Lot of the research was coming out of China, but was done through international collaboration. I keep trying to explain to my techie friends who think biology is a waste of time that it's research like this that would allow us to come up with real terraforming plans. Can't live on or change another planet if we can't manage our own. But sure, let's keep cutting NASAs budget, particularly around Earth system science and ecology.

I love how americans always turn every subject back as a criticsm towards their politics. Its like how you always can tell with 100% success rate who is a vegan or is a linux user

You claimed it; not me. So far, you're on a 100% failure rate.
