why don't we just work on fixing the problems we face here? You know actually address the issue of pollution and the so called Global Warming.

We will be using all possible options for the humanity to survive. By only living on Earth we are like putting our eggs in one basket.

Obviously this is why you'd want to move to other planets. Why did we colonize America?

A different country is not the same as a different planet.

Why would you want to go anywhere else? And what's worth mining?

We will deplete the resources on Earth very soon.

What resources are those?

Helium for hard drives.

Best stop wasting it on balloons then. And I very much doubt it'll be profitable to get the helium from elsewhere.

Forget about private companies investing. When we have the technology to go to Mars, there's going to wars over who gets what.

Far from being true, we have enough resources to last us for tens of thousands of years. Renewable technologies are also replacing fossil fuels overtime and other emerging techs reduce reliance on various resources.

Things like synthetic food (already developed in labs) can replace reliance on soil.

The whole earth is dying is mostly grass eater bullshit that wants us to go back to stone ages ignoring texhnology. The only real threat is pollution like dumping waste in land fills and oceans, Air pollution etc.

I'm all for colonising Mars asap just because I am a visionary but I'm also realistic about idiotic claims of terraforming Mars within the next few decades.

The world won't last that many years. If we reach 2200 we should be happy. +1 for pollution and global warming.

I think you're underestimating the cost logistics and even desire of why humans would want to even attempt this anytime soon.

Why would you want to remain on this Earth?

Quote from: yatsey87 on April 24, 2014, 03:18:15 PM

Yeah, why would they want to do this or get the money from?

You could mine up there. If there is something to mine.

Terraforming requires Nuclear Fusion energy, actually mars is perfect for nuclear fusion because there is no will by current governments to adopt fusion on earth so Mars will be a good scenario.

However the logistics involved to construct massive fusion plants and teraforming technology will require another 300-500 years+ of advancement.

For the last time Mars One is a bullshit project, that will fail or significantly delayed.

You're underestimating the development of humans. This will come much sooner.

Soon no - to establish a breeding population on another planet would require genetic engineering as a full re-write and technology way beyond our current capacity.
Possible in theory yes - but I would not expect it to happen until the Sun becomes threatening

At that time we'll be long gone. It's still a few billion years left. Homo sapiens has only existed about 100000-200000 years. Seems unlikely that there still is a "Homo x" specie still here. Maybe another intelligent life form will do it?

Sorry, I didn't read the first part to well I guess! Tongue

I don't think they realize that they're actually going on a one-way ticket to mars. With only 4 people to live with the first two years.
Someone WILL go nuts. If they wanted to make a serious attempt they would send lots more people.

Read the link. It's all hypothetical and theoretical.

It is hypothetical, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. It has just never been done before!

I'm certain that he will quote you again and say that it is theoretical and hypothetical and it might never be tested. Cheesy

You will see that I was right in 15-20 years.

Tested in what capacity? On an actual planet? I'd be willing to bet it wont within 20 years.
