It's funny how we ( humans ) are squabbaling over one planet. We could've been working together all this time and maybe by now we could've had space ships. Instead, we're not thinking about the big picture. We're sitting here... wondering how we're going to get our oil and who we need to shoot next. Humans set their sights too low and dont know how to work together.

That's my problem with the planet...

Feel free to post your opinions

Not only that, but we ignore the problems that we create (for example, pollution), because it's profitable. Those green pieces of paper aren't going to help much when the icecaps melt and we're all under 20 feet of water.

We are squabbling, yes, but war leads to new technology. For example, world war 2 helped develop rockets and jets, and the cold war helped us make even better rockets.

A converted US ballistic missile was used to send astronauts to the moon.

There will be no big deal if and when the icecaps melt, the only part of the world that will flood is central north america and central australia as it was before they froze. Ice ages end get over it. People HAVE invented new ways to get fuel rather than fossils, look it up.

How to get to Mars

---

Send a bunch of robots that do nothing but release green house gases to warm the planet. (Find awsome greenhouse gas, or send all ours there.)

Send other ships that will release vast ammounts of algae to clean air.

Send tree planeting robots.

Send insects.

Send animals.

Send us and food. We will build lakes.

There you have it, how to terraform mars in 200 years.

Since everyone looks out for themselves and always will, assuming we find another planet to inhabiat, and it'll be the same with that one too. It's easy to say we could of easily "worked" together and solved all our problems but it wouldn't of been possible. I suppose it could of been worse, dying in a nuclear firestorm. ;O

I seriously doubt we could ever inhabit any other planet. It would be too costly and would demand too many resources to be used.

But if we ever could do so, it would already be too late

I say we go to mars, use all the metal from car junk yards, and crap like that, if we work for at least 50 years on building ships and crap I say we could probably get around 5,000-10,000 people in inhabit mars. But of course they are all going to be scientists of some kind.......

I disagree entirely.. once we get it through our heads that our planet has been poisioned I think that we'll be sending terra forming missions to mars... Bet to see mars colonies within the next 1000 years... ( although we wont be around for it )

Exactly my point, we wont be around for it. Our planet will already be destroyed by then

Exactly. Gonna take us a long ass time to do it. Even when we do have the technology to do it, who says we're gonna do it? Just cause we can, doesn't mean we will. There are other factors involved.

Humanity only looks bad cause our standards are so high. If you think about it, cave men were more humane than any of us here back in their day.

The earth will not be destroyed by us. We just simply don't have the technology. Just as the pimp philosopher to my left once said:
"The Earth is fine...The PEOPLE are :censored:ed."

I wonder if we ever had to build a massive spaceship to save ourselves from an asteroid would we let money get in the way of building it. We would have enough resources and manpower to build it, but people wouldn't do it because of the "cost".

Who cares about cost. It's either your profits or your life. Who cares about money if you're dead and have nothing to buy. Our earth wouldn't be like this if the lazy fatasses who won't recycle/throw their trash in the right places, did it.

I love how you people have no clue what kind of technology we have.
That's all I'm really allowed to say though.

By the way, NASA has no part in it; it's all third-party contracts.
NASA just takes the credit.

In fifty years, you'll know what I'm talking about.

ROCK ON!!!

lol this is all george bush's fault...

i mean he always wastes his time messin up on speeches and that valuable time can be used for makin ships and planet bases and other things that would be outta this world.....

Actually, wasn't his one of his re-election promises to work towards a man on Mars?

Doing that might be considered "suicide" since we have no idea if the surface of Mars is safe, and how much radiation is there...unless I haven't been catching up on the news.

You haven't. Plain an simple.

mars is too complicated...and it doesnt have air, atmosphere, or weather there so...how can we live there?? sing the barney song a mil times with YaeXrillion

Haha!
You would actually die of radiation before suffocation on Mars.
Way to know what you're talking about.

ADDITION:
Just in case you didn't quite catch that:
Mars has a weak but still existant atmosphere, which contains vast amounts of CO2, but little Oxygen.
Plants would be in Heaven on Mars.

That's my point.

And I was stretching out the point. Well, if cars don't use valuable fossil fuels, and destroy the atmosphere/clean air, we'd be fine. If there weren't as much people overhunting/overfishing/killing for the hell of it, more animals wouldn't be extinct. Well, basically I'm saying, if there wasn't one thing, there would be a different cause.

And they would convert it to O2 for us! However, we would have to introduce Nitrogen and stuff, because having pure O2 and CO2 would be rather harmful to us.

but there are alot of people trying to get people on mars and how we could make mars habitable
i've seen many shows on how people are trying to see if mars has water somehwere beneath the the land forms to see if mars CAN be habitable and i've seen them all on the science channel

That would be weird, as 70% of our atmosphere is nitrogen, we would only need to take little breaths on mars.

i'd liek to point of that niether does space. yet we have a space station in space.. with people in it...
