Latest technologies give us many new things. Television, computer, internet are some of them that makes our life happy and complete. Humans are advancing in space technology too. They send satellite the sky and Neil Armstrong and his friends were said already standing on the moon ground. What about the future? Do you think that human have the capabilities to live in space? Can Mars or other planet be the suitable place for human's colony? What do you think about this?

I think it's possible. There are things that most people thought were impossible but with the advancement of science and technology a lot of things that before were considered impossible are coming true. I believe that whatever the mind conceive the mind can achieve. As long as humans will not stop to be curious about anything there's always a chance to discover something. The earth will end but humans will always find a way to evolve to continue to exist. its just a matter of time. Cheers!

Yes, I think with the ever advancing technologies that are being produces here on earth, life on Mars will be possible but there are several downsides to the idea.
1. The change in gravity, having problems with working with objects
2. There is no oxygen on mars! Since humans need oxygen to live, unless some way they can be sent oxygen tanks every now and again, they certainly cannot live.
3. Mars is closer to the sun than earth is. That means it's hotter, way to hot sometimes and this could result to several problems.
4. With the unsuitable land on mars, and so far, no life on mars, it will be very hard to establish a colony. It will be like establishing a colony in a desert, except a lot harder. Plus, there is no water on mars and we can't live unless we wear space suits.

In my view, the earth like planets that could have supported civilization have not yet been discovered-what man knows like the 9 planets will never be a civilization destination, not even tourism, because it is too costly to maintain and sustain life for a big poulation there.

I think that it is possible with the right technology. In science fiction we may hear about terraforming and making the planet able to support life naturally. But for our near future, I think we should try the moon instead of living on mars. The moon is closer, and we only visited it, we haven't started living there yet so I think we should try that first. We know more about the moon, after all. . .

Yes, I believe so. Actually, people are already living in space stations. Such it is indeed possible to live in space. However, in relation to Mars, I don't think it would be possible unless the atmosphere and environment could be altered to sustain life.

With the development of technologies, scientists could create bacterias that could survive in the harsh conditions of mars and convert the carbon dioxide present on mars to oxygen and other life supporting gases. This process could also heat up the surface of mars. Also the life supporting zone around the sun is slowly shifting towards the orbit of mars. So I believe, in the far future our grand grand children might shift to mars.
