will people ever colonize mars?

Question

╫

some of you are pretty stupid, they can create an atmosphere on mars if there was a need to, this would make it warmer give it more oxygen and stop the sand storms, making it habitable

Answer 1

yes within 50yrs

Answer 2

We have the technology to fly there and possibly live there as well for a short period of time. Some day, we will have an outpost in mars for sure, but if you are asking if regular people like us will live there, it really depends on the natural resources the planet can provide us and also depends on the condition of our planet Earth.

Look at it this way, It's almost like US's invading Iraq vs. not interested in invading North Korea. US invaded Iraq for the sake of National Security since US claimed Iraq had the weapons of mass destruction. Funny thing is that the North Koreans screamed at US that they had the weapons of mass destruction and did tested long range missiles multiple occasions. However, US didn't seem care much. Why would US ever attack North Korea when that tiny cummunist country got no natural resources which US could get benefit from?

So, back to my point. Will human race ever colonize mars? It absolutely depends on the natural resources it can offer to us(human race or whoever is colonizing).

Answer 3

It is difficult to imagine any real benefit to Martian colonization that could not be attained at a immensely lower cost through the colonization of Antarctica or Greenland - both locations are Edens by comparison. This isn't even primarily a technological problem - even if it were possible to travel to Mars at a wish, there would still be little reason to remain permanently. At some point in the future, manned exploration might prove practical, but it will likely always be possible to send dozens or hundreds of unmanned probes for the price of a single human expedition.

Answer 4

guy will in all probability be on Mar's interior 4 years, and there are fairly some issues (or maybe smarter strategies to them) approximately residing on mars. If a image voltaic flare have been to take place, and additionally you have been on the exterior on the time, you would be fried speedier then you definately can blink. an worry-free answer to it is to pass decrease than the floor (there are relatively tunnels decrease than mars, appropriate for a construction housing oxygen) If we do colonize mars, which i think of will ultimately take place, the approach for figuring out if its risk-free will start up in 4 years. shape will in all probability start up around 2020, if no longer 2025, and it greater then in all probability does not be waiting till all of us have grandchildren, or are in a grave someplace. yet i does not doubt it is going to take place, because of the fact they are looking warning signs of water decrease than the floor on mars, the temperature decrease than the floor of mars could be appropriate to stay in... it may well be a reasonably respectable place to pass.

Answer 5

No.

A quick google of Mars will show you why it is not habitable.

Mars will be explored by astronauts but man will never permanently colonize Mars.

Besides the nonbreathable atmosphere, the radiation poses problems and the low gravity would create bone, mass, and inner ear problems on long-term stays.

Answer 6

I have to say no. The biggest issue I foresee is providing a constant supply of oxygen, food, water, materials, etc. It's no short trip from there to Earth.

Edit:
baseball7069, please explain how we can create an artificial atmosphere on Mars, a planet we still know very little about (comparably speaking), when Meteorologists can't even get a 7-day forecast right on Earth, the only planet mankind has ever known.

Answer 7

Yes. George Bush has already committed NASA to building a permanent base on the moon. Once that's done and we learn how to make that base self-sustaining, obviously Mars is next. I don't know if it will happen in my lifetime though. Isn't it exciting that we're alive during the dawn of the space age?

Answer 8

I do not see any benefit to living on Mars. The atmosphere is very thin, the planet without oxygen, the distance from the sun makes the median temperature very cold. Besides, with it always being "red", you could never develop pictures. lol

Answer 9

It will be done.

Will it be sucsessful probably not. Like we have in space stations plants will provide the oxygen needed. But the sand storms and the heating will be a problem. When in a cold region we would need some crazy *** technology to save our asses.

Answer 10

Yes, but let's hope they don't all decide to live in McMansions. All that rendered styrofoam would be toxic to the Martian environment!

Discerning individuals will have to go there to survive after this world has been made totally uninhabitable due to the proliferation on this planet of tasteless architecture.

Answer 11

OF course, if the liberals in congree will ever let us. I think we will have the potential to travel to other galaxies in 1000's of years from now. Colonizing Mars will be a cake walk.
