So the plan is to colonize a planet that has no water, toxic air to humans, and takes years to travel there? All in the event that Earth becomes inhabitable? I get that we are curious and explorers by nature, but this is dumb as shite.
So says the idiot. Don't breed.
Seriously, can you chew gum and walk at the same time?

It's a vicious, barren wasteland of frigid, dead, oxygenless nothingness.
Ennywhoo, it sounds like a good idea to me. I think everyone that wants to go there should climb on/in a rocket and go. I'll even contribute and light the fuse.

Do certain extreme climate changers think that the Earth is going to become uninhabitable in the next 100 years or something? In the event that the Earth warms (or cools) to the point that certain existing areas of the world will be very difficult to live in, I get that various populations will face hardship, mass death events and likely wars over resources. But that is more mankind fighting over the available land versus the Earth itself becoming no longer hospitable to life.
my issue with mars is that we would have to change the entire ecosystem of the planet in order to live there unless everything will be enclosed. I could see using Mars as a stop-over to begin a longer journey with the lack of gravity, it would use much less fuel to launch from there helping with longer journeys.

I guess that is what I mean. It's a vicious, barren wasteland of frigid, dead, oxygenless nothingness. If we could transform an uninhabitable planet into a habitable one, I would think it would be far easier to make our current planet more habitable.
The idea is to have diversity in case something uncontrollable happens to earth. It's entirely possible an asteroid, comet, solar flare, gamma ray burst, nuclear warfare, etc take the majority of human life on earth out. Climate change really doesn't have anything to do with it

Need a place to send all the libtards.

We have millions of geologists out of work. Who else are we gonna send?

But water does exist, it doesnt take that long to get there and our ships are getting faster every decade

I heard that colonizing Venus (living in the upper atmosphere) would be easie
Venus is like 900 deg on the surface and -200 deg in the upper atmosphere so probably not a good place to hang out. I think it's the hottest planet.

Mankind has always had an interest in seeking new places. I look at it similar to when people had the resources to go out and seek new areas of the world. Right now, Mars is just the closes place in outer space, in which humans can possibly establish communities. We, as humans, are evolving with our brains and IMO this is just one way it is happening.

I believe that Mars was once like earth, with a full inhabitable climate until it was ruined. There is a lot of evidence that life on earth may have come from life on Mars transported on meteorites.
There is no telling what archaeological finds are under the red dirt.

now we can get some real science in this thread. YG what are your thoughts on the most efficient way to put science on Mars with a colony?Posted on 11/13/16 at 5:30 pm to yoga girl
