Prospects of Mars colonization can be the one of the most needed to be study. We cannot say that the earth can lasts longer, there is a global warming what they are saying, a lot of tragedy can happen. When will our mother earth be lasts? What are our future needs? We need one planet to be reserved, where, we citizens can live.

This is according to research published recently in Scientific Reports by a team of biologists at Tokyo Institute of Technology who conducted remote imaging experiments on newly-hatched medaka fish launched into space.

Who cares how much it costs or whether it's funded by government or private funds, if it wasn't for explorers many of us would not be sitting in the countries we now call home, so kudos to Musk for keeping the explorer spirit alive I say.
Many first settlers gave their lives both on the journey to their new homes and in building a life for themselves once there, be it from new diseases, unfavourable surroundings etc., I don't expect it will be any different when humankind expands into the heavens.
For those that say the monies used to fund such exploits would be better spent on curing disease, ending wars, eliminating poverty etc., sit back and take a look at one of the primary drivers for expansion to other planets - over population. If you spend money to keep people alive longer we'll simply need to start looking for another home sooner rather than later as we fill up even more quickly.
I personally would rather see humankind shoot for the stars well before we start scrambling over each other for the last morsel of food.

I guess it should just be considered depending on the urgent priorities and immediate concerns mankind is facing. But true enough, just what if it's already too late for the Earth. That sooner or late it will become inhabitable to man. Wouldn't now be the time to do it - before it's too late.

Mars... Well let's be realistic, someone has to be the first. It might not be as glorious and nce to do but to further our species we must undertake some risks.
The question is whether we should prioritize the Mars mission over other targets, such as the eradication of poverty and universal free education. The huge cost associated with the Mars mission makes it very unattractive for me.
Musk might find 1 million people willing to go and work there for very good jobs, but someone else would have to pay for the trip and pay them their wages.
They have been paid by NASA to send and return cargo to the International Space Station with excellent results.
I am sure the taxpayers are fine with paying for that. I mean who would not pay 99% income tax in order to find rocks and sand on Mars.
I hope all governments of the world increase their income taxes to 99% in order to achieve this wonderful scientific milestone.
Who is with me?
THere might be more rocks and sand.
There could also be alien pyramids, and underground alien cities.
Humanity might discover it's origins, and we will soon realize that we were created by 13th dimension shapeshifting reptoids from Mars. Now that my friend is worth a 99% tax rate.

While I am not really against with this explorations. I should say I really agree with you how they should prioritize more evident and more pressing maters. Like diseases breakouts, starvation, education.

I've read a good article about the Elon Musk life and how he started everything, and I think he is a genius man and soon he will launch the Space X and he has a good support from NASA, I hope by the next decade we will see something like this.
but it's different when the goal is not about making mars as a second world, but more like evacuation planet.
Mars is not suited to act as an evacuation planet. The atmosphere and climatic conditions in Mars makes it very difficult to create permanent bases there. Moons such as Titan may be more suitable for that role.

Zero.
i'm intrested about it. there are many peoples who agree or disagree with it.
from the impossible opinion, yeah mars's structure and condition won't match with us as a civillian of perfect planet "earth". the gravity, the storm, the atmosphere .. i just can't get over to think about it when we're living in mars
but it's different when the goal is not about making mars as a second world, but more like evacuation planet. if the earth is no longer produces something good for human, well there is no other choices than live in mars. although the condition won't match with us, but duh .. this one might better than still living in earth, to proof it .. that's why NASA will do this experiment

Before mars colony will be established space mining will be the first big project. Space miners will mine minerals and metals on asteroids that will be transported back to earth. Such metals will be used in space travel. Mars colonization if become successful will be another big step for mankind to answer the future problems on overpopulation.
Space mining is just an urban myth. Who is going to mine minerals from the exoplanets, when the transportation cost is almost one million times greater than the value of the minerals extracted?
That's a big problem. It takes governments to do something like that.
A single manned mission to the Mars will cost trillions of USD. I am not sure whether the American government would sanction that kind of money. If the Space X shareholders are ready to spend that sort of money, then I wish them god luck.
