The space colonization of the future in Mars planet, in Saturn Titan moon, the earth moon and another planets no is a generosity for the human specie because the human is a enemy of the nature, of this Earth Planet, of the animals and life of his planet, i feel that is not correct colonize another planets in the future, my mind see a devil in the space colonization, i believe that human specie must accept his extinction, Stephen Hawkings has been a mistake of the future of the humanity, because he needed ask this question ¿Who is the human specie for escape of his extinction if he must pay expensive the damage that make to his palnet, nature and animals? in the day of today there are things most importants that save of our planet than space colonization of the future!

I think the best way I can answer this is with a quote from the TV series Babylon 5 by J. Michael Straczynski
"Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe and Lao-Tzu, Einstein, Morobuto, Buddy Holly, Aristophanes .. and all of this .. all of this was for nothing unless we go to the stars."
So yes - I am in favour of space colonization in the future.

space is the way forwards and why not dont you think it would be wonderful to get out there and see the wonders of the cosmos.
seeing us as being different from all the other life on earth is your first mistake earth is our home as much as it is to all the other life forms on this planet just because we treat it different dont mean we dont belong here but we could do a better job of looking after it instead of treating it as a rubbish tip
we should have a bit more respect towards the planet and the creatures that share our world and stop taking what we want and taking only what we need would be a step in the right direction

It doesn't matter whether you're for it or against it (I'm personally very much for it as it's my belief that scientific achievement and advancement of knowledge is a *good* thing and that as a species we humans have vastly *improved* the planet). It will eventually happen, unless some catastrophe destroys us first, and I believe it will be a good thing.
You are free to believe that all humanity is some sort of infestation or we're all devils (there are stranger belief systems out there I guess) and I won't try to argue you out of that one. I'm sure there will be conficts eventually in other arenas that earth, that's the nature of man, but that certainly doesn't make the exploration of space a bad thing.
I think that market forces will push us into space (disagree by the way about the space tourism industry not ever being viable; they used to say the same thing about air travel, then technology progressed and costs went down). There are vast (possibly unlimited) resources out there waiting to be tapped and huge amounts of knowledge to be gained. I was listening to Bob Bigelow the other night (who is at the forefront of making space travel a tourism industry) and he mentioned that the single biggest thing holding back progress wasn't technology or money but rather politics and the red tape our government has put up for private enterprise trying to make its way into space

Dear Stegos...:
I don't think that you need to worry much with respect to the colonization of space. At present it costs a golden fortune to send one pound of material into outer space. There just is not enough funding to launch sufficient material and manpower to set up a colony anywhere except possibly at the orbiting space station now circling Earth.
Spend your hard earned money on coffee and donuts and lay off of the science fiction novels for a while. Take two asperin and get a good nights rest. Call me in the morning.

I don't think humans would be an "infestation" on another planet. We're all doomed to extinction and hell for being the most intelligent species on Earth? That doesn't make any sense.
But I am against colonization because I know that *I* don't want to live on Mars...I'm fine right here.

Think we will have to move further than mars or titan once the our sun starts to run out of fuel, and maybe the humans who leave on that trip would be all have died by the time the space ship got there so maybe only their offspring would survive

In short; I am in favour of space colonisation... but WHY Mars?! That planet, given in the future it will be suitable for human beings to live on, is only half Earth's size!
It took not so much time to overpopulate the Earth, imagine how short it would take to overpopulate Mars?
And what will be next? The moons of Jupiter?
As for what you think of the human species. I'm generally known to publicly display my dislike towards human beings in general. But space colonisation is NOT ONLY about populating unchartered space territory, but about being able to DISCOVER IT! So I'm all for colonisation in space for the purpose of being able to discover more and more unchartered territory... just look as the planets as mere stepstones towards that.

KART....What are you doing on level 3 ...you're the only person that's talking sense and i'm not in favour of the idea of the colonization of space it's interferring with nature and will cause a big upset. Our planet is the only one that's meant to be lived on and if it's getting overcrowded or overheated no one can escape the fact that we are to blame. There is no substitute for mother earth.

Personally agianced myself from going but if others want to, I wish them the best of luck. I wouldn't leave unless I knew that, say Mars, could be Terraformed to support life at a persons scale: but its unlikely since mars doesnt have a breathable atmosphere and every reason why plants cant survive.

Apart from tourism, I see now reason why we should colonise other planets. There are bound to be conflicts over who has which part of which planet and I'm sure that we will destroy whichever environment we move to. I also doubt that it will ever be cost-effective to have a solar system tourist industry.
