when r we colonising mars...?

Answer 1

NASA has formulated several projects to colonise Mars, but requires a HUUUGE budget and a LOOOONG time.
The project is by steps, of course: sending unmanned slow vehicles with equipment, machines and logistic support, later sending teams with fast vehicles, gather in orbit, landing and setting several "bases".
Then NASA has two options:
- Creating bases under some sort of "biospheres" (we would live in a ball with our own air)
- TERRAFORMING Mars, a project that would generate air on Mars. This project would take around 20 years to complete.
(remember Aliens 2? They were "terraforming").
Since we spend more money at waging wars than building a new future for mankind, it is going to take a LOOOONG time.
Maybe for your kids.

Answer 2

NASA will work toward putting people on Mars within two decades. Although the plans are at their earliest stages, it is clear that the costs, and risks, would be astronomical.

Astronauts heading for the Red Planet would spend at least three years away from Earth, dependent on the water, air, food and fuel that they have brought with them.

Many scientists are skeptical about the need to put people in space. The most successful exploration of the solar system in the past few decades has been done by robots. Manned spaceflight is more about show business than science, they say.

The orbits of the planets mean that the best opportunities for traveling to Mars come every couple of years. In one proposal from NASA, a manned Mars mission would involve 12 spacecraft.

During the first launch window, three craft would carry an Earth-return vehicle, an ascent vehicle, a rover, nuclear-power stations, oxygen units, spare parts and a laboratory. The return vehicle would be parked in orbit, while the rest of the equipment would be sent to the landing site.

Two years later, three more spacecraft would send backup vehicles, more equipment and a crew of six or seven persons. The pattern of launches then would be repeated, allowing a second crew to replace the pioneers.

If the crew flew in 2014, they would take 150 days to reach Mars, spend 619 days on the surface and take another 110 days to reach home — total, about 2 years and five-plus months.

Answer 3

there are a large number of people wondering and drawing up plans for the type of challenge to Mars interior the not so distant destiny. A challenge to Mars, even if, is critically different from the colonization you propose on your question. i imagine that we are a lengthy, lengthy way from attempting to verify a colony on Mars. evaluate this reality please...It prices $10,000 US to carry one pound of payload cloth into orbit. What quantity of weight might want to a Colonization challenge have? Many, many, many a lot of textile might want to be mandatory i imagine. evaluate that absolutely the shortest holiday to Mars might want to take over six months utilising known strategies of area flight, and six more beneficial months to go back. each and every of the necessary consumeable elements might want to should be carried on board the area deliver. this may be an great quantity of issues and no one has said the size of the first Mars challenge crew. each and every extra crew member multiplies the quantity (and weight) of consumeable elements, which makes the necessary area deliver even larger to carry all of that stuff. Now, what number of people might want to type a colony? might want to 4 or 6 be sufficient? Or, are you speaking about one hundred people? one hundred is only thoroughly out of the question interior the forseeable destiny...

Answer 4

I hope never... if we are going to do to Mars the same we are doing to Earth. But anyway, I think it will not be before 2050.

Answer 5

In all likelyhood, we will never colonize Mars...or if we do it will be thousands of years in the future.
