This is stupid.

1. Mars' atmosphere contains too little oxygen to support human life. (I understand the pressure compresses the O2 but I will talk more about pressure right here.) Also, the air is too dry. Also, there is too much nitrogen. Also, the air is too thick and heavy because of the pressure. It's like being underwater ALL THE TIME. Not to mention the pressure would make it harder to breathe. And, the pressure is not even feasible BECAUSE THE DARN SURFACE GRAVITY IS TOO WEAK TO HOLD FREAKING 2.3 ATMOSPHERES! THERE IS A REASON MARS HAS SUCH A THIN ATMOSPHERE NOW TO BEGIN WITH!

(I have a bit too much Austin in me, don't I?)

Ok, I'm better now.

2. Am I not the only one who thinks that having a rotational period of EXACTLY 1 EARTH DAY is a little bit outlandish?

3. Why isn't Earth the headquarters of the Federation? In all the federation-scifi I have seen/read, the Federation is based on Earth because Earth is aready a gaia paradise.

Please give me reasons that I am wrong in my analysis so I don't lose my mind any more than I already have.

I know this is just a game, but I am already 0.04% insane.
