Who knows how quickly we will populate Mars, and how soon this will begin (these things come on much faster than anyone anticipates).

I posit tht population growth is a function of bounds, both economically, culturally, and geographically. When the hottest thing for a young person to do is move to Mars and start life, given the seemingly boundless opportunity out there, the picture will change dramatically, and these ancestors of ours will look back at such articles with amazement and a touch of humor.
