It is more like nature problem, Mars does not have the magnetic shield like earth does. So either we will be shipping there lead, or it is not happening. And even then it seems like miserable living.
Eh, kinda. The epstein drive handwaves away the single most insurmountable problem that really just CRUSHES the idea of casual travel betwixt planets.
No doubt.
You gotta remember the moon landings were an expense on the level of the Palace of Versailles or the Pyramids. MASSIVE chunk of GDP went into that accomplishment.
We reached the moon and did nothing with it since the 60s. It was a land, dick around on it, and return home mission. Colonizing Mars is on another scale 1000x harder.
I don't think you guys realize the stuff that falls under the DoD budget versus NASA. The planet would fundamentally change if the US diverted all the DOD money to space colonization.
Just remember the OG cost of the James Webb telescope was 500 million.
We'll never go live on Mars. Not ever. Proponents and promoters speak of the need to colonize planets in order to reduce congestion here on earth.
They tell us we could live underground, or in specially built facilities. They say children will be born on Mars.
It's nonsense.
We will never live on a planet where venturing outside would mean certain death. Mars is a place where our bodies would rapidly deteriorate first from the lower gravity and second from the constant bombardment of deadly rays generated by the sun. Scientists know this. But they want "research money" so they promote this fantasy. You want to live in someplace harsh because earth is too crowded?..... Consider the far north.
There is room on every continent that reaches into the arctic. Just pick a spot and colonize - Iceland; Greenland; Canada. Or go south to the Antarctic. Or go underwater if you want a real challenge. Each of those are infinitely cheaper than going to mars. You could go outside and survive and babies could be born. And if you get tired of it you can go home.
Mars?..... Nah. Never. But I'd be interested in your take.
for real, overpopulation is a scary bedtime story they tell people who live in cities and population growth rate peaked decades ago
Why would we send the waste to Mars and not just…Space?

Not in our lifetimes unfortunately not to mention it's a physics and physiological problem as well and those are much harder to overcome
NASA was confident that Apollo crews would be passing through the belts fast enough that the spacecraft’s skin and all the instrumentation lining the walls would be enough protection.
LOL, so we can run through miles of fire too if we run fast enough?
It’s hilarious how bad the acting is in those moon landing footages but it was the 60s and it was believable for people back then.
We can’t go back because there’s no Cold War anymore
my God, I didn't think this thread would bring out so much idiocy..

I create gas giants each time I get taco bell.
i rate this joke 4 anus out of 10, you can do better.
10/10. Masterpiece as always.
