I highly doubt a tidally locked planet could ever support human life.
Even if it's far enough away from the star that the hot side is temperate, the cold side would be super cold. If the atmosphere is as thick as Earth's I imagine this would result in constant powerful storms across the planet. I doubt you could ever get an ecosystem to properly survive to produce oxygen in sufficient levels for humans.

From what I've been told the colorblind glasses oversaturate the colors for those with normal color vision. I'm color blind so they work pretty well for me.

From what I remember "balls to the wall" is old military jargon. Old aircraft throttles were basically a lever with a ball on top, each engine had it's own lever and they were in a row so you could grab multiple at a time to increase or decrease throttle on all engines. "Balls to the wall" was going full throttle, pushing the balls on the top of the levers to the "wall" (as far as they could go).
