Would You Travel To Mars If the Technology Were Availible?

For me the simple answer would be no. Even when they first start to travel their with people in the rocket it will take a full 3 years to go there and back. I'm not sure but it may be 3 years there and 3 years back totaling 6 years. Scientists say Mars is the most similar planet to earth in our solar system. Methane is the abundant thing in the atmosphere which is below the level of oxygen. They say it could be possible one day that if they were to setup enough oxygen machines on mars to put enough oxygen in the atmosphere humans could walk on mars without a spacesuit. This new oxygen on mars would promote growth of grass and trees making it liviable in ? Its too soon to tell.

Wow saterns a gas planet though so you would drown if you were to go into it. On Pluto you would be frozen once you stepped off the space shuttle.

i like to live at saturn... coz it is my favorite planet in all of the planets... and it is big too... but the thing was like you said it was a gaseous planet so it is not too safe to live in but like you said again we got the technology we can rid of that gas if we wanted too... about pluto well i like cold places... and what is the purpose of heater if the inventor invent it lol.... we can create huge heater that can dispatch cold permanently with no hustle...

I think it only takes probes 3-6 months to reach mars now, but It might be different for human travel.

right now it would take a year and a half just to get there not including flying back.

Well for an adventure why not for as long as I could afford the price of traveling there. I am quite sure that this would cost me much that i would have to say no to it too. But if technology and affordability works why not for a break.

I would providing: - The craft used to travel to Mars had the same safety range as a commerical airliner - I didn't have to wear a spacesuit to breathe both inside the craft and on the planet - It took less than a month to arrive - The craft had anti gravity generators - The craft had inertial dampers to counter the affect of rapid acceleration/deceleration - I was able to stand up right and walk around the craft without feeling uncomfortable

Id totally go. I would not even give it a 2nd thought. Shure, it would take years. O-k, there would be no guarantee of a safe return. Yes, you would miss out on alot back on earth and may not even make it there. But how F-ing Kool it would be just to be able to get that kind of an opportunity. And you'd be one of the first, or at least go down in history.
