So, the 'shelter' they had set up on the alien world is really that, a shelter. People can talk about starting a colony all they want, but it's not going to happen. The world is dry, the air too thin, the sun too dim to really support the kind of high energy metabolism of Earth biology, even if you could make enough changes to the atmosphere. XK-Masada isn't a new Earth, it's just the desert island where last lifeboat washed up.I loved the use of alien world as an last ditch escape. Except it totally contradict the point of the great Filter being finding alien world, and using their tech, if we can fly there and start again.
