I do contract work for one of the companies looking to colonize Mars, cant go into a lot of details but it is closer to a reality than many would believe.

One of my favorite quotes from Apollo 13. "From now on, we live in a world where man has walked on the moon. And it's not a miracle, we just decided to go."

To me I don't doubt that we'll go to Mars.....the question is when.

I think they should have a larger overall goal of terraforming Mars. That way it could conceivably be inhabitable some day.

We should start the construction of an atmosphere. Should be ready in a couple years.

The real question is why. Yea, let's leave perfectly good ol Earth and live on an uninhabitable planet. Sounds like fun!

To me the question is not when but why.

I understand. When we discussed space exploration in another thread, I voiced a similar opinion. Why spend billions to explore space when gov'ts are failing and people are starving here on Earth.

But, just to spark up more of a conversation, I'll counter with another quote from Apollo 13.

"Imagine if Christopher Columbus never returned to the New World."

That's either a female dinosauroid or he's performing a masterful mid-walk tuck back.

Great. Another place for someone to try to sell me a time share too.
