mars is boring, better to colonize planet like kepler(20b, namek style lol), we just need a better technlogy

that's too distant future

we should focus on something that's more achievable, like Mars for instance

mars real colonization is too far away anyway, we  wont be there so who care

Colonizing planets is a short term bandaid.  The real solution is to acheive multidimensional travel, which only takes you.

No matter where you go, you will be subjected to death unless you find immortality and ascend beyond this physical plane and into the next dimension.

That is the only true solution.  The problem lies within humanity's quench of negativity - fear.  No matter where you run, if you are running in fear you are not solving the problem - which is to confront your fears of the unknown head on.  Only once you can do that can you realize that negativity is a limitation you are manifesting yourself.  If we stop manifesting ego then there is no need to survive, only live.

But how is that possible? I mean rockets and different kinds of propulsion are possible and will get us to other planets and maybe even planetary systems! But multidimensional travel with your own body? How do you propose that works?

Ignore Dank. He's the kind of person I hate arguing with. And besides, none of the (serious) proponents of colonizing other planets are really running from anything. We know humanity is never going to be perfect. We just want to give the best of humanity a chance to survive even if it means moving to a planet that looks hostile at first glance.

I think we will encounter so many problems we can't even imagine right now. Imagine for example the far distance (which people already know about). You can't even conduct a telephone call over that distance without a severe delay!!! The Internet Protocol as we know it wouldn't work as well. Sites would need minutes or hours to load, since back & forward communication is required for that!

There is not only one internet protocol. Use UDP + aplication error checking, or something like that, plust good caching.

Just don't expect do skype videoconferences or watch high quality porn from mars


And reason to go to mars: Sun will blow up and all solar system will be gone in some billion of years, so we need to start a retreat plan, because we don't know how hard is reach other stars, or if it is even possible. And as hard as it sounds, it still easier than try to extend sun's life time

If you flee to another planet in an attempt to solve a problem - in actuality, you are only running from the problem, which is you.  Us.

If we change ourselves we can change the world.  If you take your toxic habits to another planet you are jut further contaminating the universe.

The only way to solve problems is to confront them head on.  Evading them gets you nowhere.


it's not evading, it's called diversifyng

read this

http://www.cracked.com/article_19117_7-horrible-ways-universe-can-destroy-us-without-warning.html

and tell me it's good for humanity to live on only one planet

1st step

more planets

2nd step

outside the solar system

3rd step

outside Milky Way

this is the path that leads humanity to survival, not trying to battle gamma rays, because that  shit will kill you

and I don't think it will ever be possible to block such a thing

The earth is overpopulated as it is. Mars colonization is the only way forward right now Smiley

Mars has a relatively small surface area compared to earth, so we may not actually be able to relocate that many people over there. But it may be a very interesting proving ground for further space exploration or even deep space exploration. Also, it may be an interesting 'checkpoint' for vessels on their way out of our solar system!

Mars has as much dry land (well, dry land that might contain frozen water but think of it as the Arctic Circle without the glaciers, a thinner atmosphere, and if you get thirsty while out on the Martian tundra, you could throw up a tent-like affair to extract water) as all the Earth continents put together. Considering the fact that all 7 billion plus humans fit onto the dry land on Earth, you should be able to move half of us to Mars and still have enough room for major industrial and agricultural interests. And you are right about possibly being a "checkpoint" for spacecraft. Possibly even a full fledged spaceport and a world where one of the major exports is newly built spacecraft.

I don't know about Mars colonisation personally I think the idea is ridiculous and expensive, moon possibly, because of the water that's been found there and how it's pretty close to earth in comparison, what we need to find is a planet that has breathable atmosphere, once we do that, particularly if we find an absolutely massive planet, we can spread our population out and resources won't be as scarce as they are now.

The trick is getting the hang of space flight.

Moon has only 1/6 of the gravity of Earth Mars has 2/3. Living long time on Moon can possibly affect our bone mass and muscles. We don't need to actually live in the surface of Mars. For the Mars pioneers can live safely underground airtight. We can plant trees and crops underground. Mars has a lot of water underground in the polar regions I think it has all the minerals we need.

Mars relatively weak gravity compared to earth and its proximity near the asteroid belt can make it a hub for asteroid mining. Asteroid mining will be the greatest industries in the future.

In the far future we actually don't need planets to live. We can make rotating space habitat/ship that could as big as the moon. It would be same gravity as earth and with out the nasty weather and unpredictable earthquakes. And we can move it anywhere we like.

Living only on planet Earth is like putting all our eggs in one basket. Imagine a global catastrophe like solar storm, viral/bacterial epidemic, asteroid,  super volcano can easily wipe the humankind. If humankind are dispersed in our solar system and beyond we have a high chance of survival for another million years. But sadly most of us don't think about this.

That is true. There are far too many people who don't even plan their lives beyond their next paycheck and I include the ones who don't live at the subsistence level or below. You know the ones who get paid on Friday and then blow half of it on a weekend of partying. These are the ones I don't waste a lot of time trying to convince them that space travel can actually be worth it in their daily lives. I just tell them, "Dude there's this really cool reality show in the works. It's called Mars One. Watch it when it hits the airwaves." Then at least Mars One can get the advertising bucks that come with reaching a lot of people.

I think we will encounter so many problems we can't even imagine right now. Imagine for example the far distance (which people already know about). You can't even conduct a telephone call over that distance without a severe delay!!! The Internet Protocol as we know it wouldn't work as well. Sites would need minutes or hours to load, since back & forward communication is required for that!

So anyone with no life who spends all his/her time on the Internet will obviously be unhappy on Mars. The rest of us aspiring Martians will probably spend most of our time working and maybe check our email (which will probably be cached on a server, BTW) when we have a few free minutes in a row before hitting the sack.
