format 1 #26 November 26, 2013 In my mind, I'll skip forward to 2033. Let's say it happened somehow. So now we have what? 10-20 people living there, reporting back whether it's possible to grow and sustain plants, animals and humans. If it's only 10 billion, I'd give it out of my pocket. Even if it's last ten Taking Earth as it is for granted? Really, really childish thinking for mankindWhat goes around, comes later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #34 November 27, 2013 Pass. It's happened to me too many times. No sense in trying anymore. I would get to Mars. I would leave the group and trek far away from the lander. I would stand on top of a rise as the sun came over the horizon. I would bask in the idea that no human had ever before seen this geography, had this sun on their face, stood on this ground. Then, I would look down and see a pile of beer cans. Damn.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJL 235 #38 November 27, 2013 labrysQuoteThere won't be people on it for a long time, we'll send drones and robots instead. The systems, equipment, and life support needed for humans is prohibitive, even for one-way trips. I wouldn't be so sure about that: http://www.space.com/18596-mars-colony-spacex-elon-musk.html He can eyeball whatever he wants to. If it's so easy to create a self sustaining system then he could throw one into earth orbit with no problem. There are no resources CURRENTLY HARVESTABLE on Mars that could be used to sustain or financially support the project, therefore it doesn't matter where he puts this thing."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
