We as space fans need to make sure we get vaccinated several times a year if we have to. Stay safe out there. Some day we will have space men on the red planet.
You wouldn't be making fun of it if he grew weed with that shit instead of potatoes. Talk about some spacey weed, lol. Ya, I'm a dork.” One day man will visit the red planet to further mankind’s reach to the stars ..... and shitting in some red soil to grow potatoes.
One small step for man , one giant squat for mankind ..........”
Gonna need a lot more than fresh "night soil" to make Martian ground ready for planting. It's poisonous as hell and the pH is whack, nevermind no micros.” One day man will visit the red planet to further mankind’s reach to the stars ..... and shitting in some red soil to grow potatoes.

Fixed that for there ya bud.You wouldn't be making fun of it if he grew weed with that shit instead of potatoes. Talk about some spacey weed, lol. Ya, I'm a cop.
Hey, let's save some REAL money and quit bombing the rest of the fucking planet, and maybe cut our military budget by half in the process.Really..like what the hell is there to do on Mars? Billions spent on nothing more than curiosity. No natural resources have been found. I'd rather just have the roads in my neighborhood fixed with the money.
The way I see it, the wealthy want an exit for when we render Earth uninhabitable. The oligarchs running these companies talk about satellites and tourism, but that’s to generate cash flow to fund colonization. I wonder how much heat energy they’ll saddle us with trying to scram.Really..like what the hell is there to do on Mars? Billions spent on nothing more than curiosity.

Are you ok???You space dorks sound so stupid. You believe in something that doesn't exist. You LOVE "outer space" which only proves you know absolutely nothing about basic astronomy therefore magnifying your ignorance. Your Einstein, Sagan, Musk were and are charlatans. Globetards
No he’s not he claims to be a former naval pilot buuuuuut thats a big can of bullshit.Are you ok???
The aristocracy of 300 years ago surely didn't decamp for the New World and I don't think they'll bug out to Mars in a hurry, either. Life there will be a bit too rustic for awhile.The way I see it, the wealthy want an exit for when we render Earth uninhabitable.

Fair enough! However, the aristocracy didn’t need to decamp, just the millions living in poverty/persecution, and some landed gentry to run things. Competition for survival is always driving things with us - there might be rare elements for mining on Mars, but our survival doesn’t depend on that. So why spend so much capital on leaving terra firma when it could be deployed fighting an existential threat like climate change?The aristocracy of 300 years ago surely didn't decamp for the New World and I don't think they'll bug out to Mars in a hurry, either.

Why NOT colonise Mars? The idea that everything has to have a profit motive seems a bit myopic to me.Fair enough!

It seems myopic but that is how we roll. Look at our wars.Why NOT colonise Mars? The idea that everything has to have a profit motive seems a bit myopic to me.
Imagine if humanity applied your logic when considering exploring the New World in the 1500s.It seems myopic but that is how we roll. Look at our wars.
Why bother?Why NOT colonise Mars?
I don’t follow - all exploration was about colonization, the ship owners and crew were highly compensated for the risks, they had to be.Imagine if humanity applied your logic when considering exploring the New World in the 1500s.
And I refuse to accept our current regime's utter idiocy in terms of budget priorities.
Columbus assembled, provisioned and crewed his 1492 mission for the equivalent of about a million dollars (indexed on $US in 2020).I don’t follow - all exploration was about colonization, the ship owners and crew were highly compensated for the risks, they had to be.
