mars

I think man could survive on Mars with the right tools and domed atmosphere. It would take a lot of preparation but I could see it getting done just not in my life time. The cost would huge and the danger would be great but it would definitly be an experience. Scientist do say its possible that Mars contains ice under ground if there was some way of heating it up then you could make an atmosphere or something. Its really neat when you sit and think about it. Good post!

I dont know when we will be able to actually go to mars. I hear about it all the time that we should explore mars someday. But My question is why dont they just plan on going to mars instead of just talking about it. But I understand its very hard because of all the storms that go to mars and it takes about 8 months to a year to get there now thats a lot for someone to be gone from 2 years. But I think we will go to mars hopefully with in the next 10 years.

Mankind specially USA are making some efforts to find a living planet out there. I think that will be possible, there is water in Mars. We are wasting planet earth so we have to find new solutions.

From what I have read and learned, it is possible and probable that human beings will live on Mars one day. Due to the unique environment, however (low air pressure, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, no ozone layer, very cold temperatures), there will have to be adaptations such as spacesuits of some kind in order to protect the colonists from the harsh environment. Inside the habitats, however, it will be in some ways like living on Earth...adequate air pressure, oxygen to breathe, etc....except for the lower gravity. We went to the moon and survived for a few days there...Mars is an even better environment for human settlement one day...at least there is some air pressure...the challenge is to find water that can be used...we know that there was lots of water on Mars in ancient past...what happened to it? Is it trapped in? I think as we do more research,we will find that the environment and its challenges can be overcome through human creativity and technology. It is even thought by some that one day we can warm up the planet and "green" the planet Mars."

Nope, I don't
