Is Your Condition as Precarious as the Condition of an Established Colony on Mars?

There's no reason to think that future doesn't await us, barring some catastrophe. We take for granted things like mass production and unmanned factories. Much of our life support is automatic. Every time we invent a better way of life support, we then make it automatic. So your condition is as precarious as those in an well established colony on mars who can take certain technological advances for granted.
