The funny thing is that Earth even after an environmental cataclysm is likely to be significantly more hospitable to human life than Mars.

It has often been pointed out that it is far easier to colonise the middle of the Gobi Desert then it is to colonise Mars.

Its ashame that probably won't happen very often anymore.

CommieGIR is referring to the fact that 21st Century Fox is in the process of finalizing it's takeover of the National Geographic media arm this month, and yesterday fired 180 staff members and offered redundancies to an unspecified number. Final cuts seem to be around 500 of the 2000 staff.

Positions made redundant include include Picture Editors, Page Designers and 20+ year Veteran Photographers. Not like this wasn't expected when it was announced back in September :
