How possible is it for mankind to finally frontier into space? I mean lets face, NASA and all these other space programs don't get nearly as much funding as military campaigns, wars, and weapons of mass destruction does. I think its time to invest funds into the stuff that could actually help us out instead of looking for reasources on our planet that are bound to become depleted. I want to know how possible is it for us to start living in colonies in space and if it possible when do you guys think it will start?

of course it's possible, but probably wont happen for a long time. we human will wait until the resourses here are gone before we look elsewhere. we're stupid like that. we will wait until it's too crowded here before we start colonizing elsewhere. first we have to find a suitable place. luckily, Mars, our neighbor, can be suitable. it just will take a long time. we have to do a lot of things to mars in order for it to be habitable. the process is called terraforming. that means make the planet suitable for life. right now, Mars is too cold and we wouldn't be able to breathe there. but if we warm up the planet and get the right gases in the atmosphere, we might be able to move there eventually. but with today's technology, it would take about 50-100 years just to make the planet warm enough for us.

Not until they believe we need them to make war with in the next war! It isn't possible unless they discover either a cheap way to transport out of the gravity well of Earth or we find water on the moon!

It is very, VERY likely that we will venture out into space. But whether or not humans do it can't say. By the time we are capable of doing so, I dunno, we might have wrecked our world with wars and ecological disasters, become extinct, or evolve into something different. Or maybe we will go. It just doesn't seem very economic at the moment.

Chimps, mutated or otherwise, desire air, nutrition and water. The moon has none of those. consequently, I assure that there are actually not any chimps on the moon. Nasa hasn't been returned to the moon, because of the fact they by no potential went to the moon interior the 1st place. It replaced into the hoax of the century.

It will happen if (and --only-- if) it becomes possible to generate a return on the investment of setting up such colonies.

Probably not with any success, but we will surely try out of sheer desperation some time in the future.
