Plain truth

I always expect that from Trent. What about colonizing an asteroid?
If they are to survive and thrive they'll have to be independent and stubborn.
Absolutely true. He explains why.
Mostly, they'd be cut off from resupply - close approaches to Earth of the same asteroid only happen infrequently.
One day we will have colonies on the larger asteroids. Before that, it will be much easier to colonize mars. It has all the resources needed so that independence from earth is possible. I seem to be a bit stubborn on this point myself!
