last I checked, we’re still having issues getting humans to and from a low orbit space station.

We should not go to mars. Cause once we have permanent settlements there we can no longer terraform it

>Getting to Mars will be easy.
First sentence in the article…
>Sending people to Mars won’t be easy.
Also what exactly about getting humans to live on another planet is an “invisible” problem? Seems like it’s the most visible problem of all.

We still have issues living on this planet.
Let’s fix this first maybe?

just like in the 1700s people migrating to the west, a lot of pople will die.
if the trip to Mars is cut down from months to days, we should be ok.

I mean ya, no one is going there until there is a pre built settlement.

Being on a planet that is covered mostly in water and that we currently don’t live on water or under water. Shouldn’t we try to live there first? Seems like it would be a good way to get the hang of this stuff first.

Why don’t they just science the shit out of this?

Who sets the laws on a Martian colony? A colony will consist of settlers from multiple cultures and backgrounds. Which ones are adopted?
And more importantly, do we carry religion into space? And whose religion?

Matt Damon offered a compelling blueprint with his martian potatoes

This is a pointless stunt that would, at best, use a lot of resources for little return. At worst it would be an epic failure that cripples future efforts.
We can’t live in isolation on this planet. Think of that. So how could we possibly live in a brutally hostile environment? And for what? Nothing.
Let’s use our resources wisely, developing robotics and exploring shallower gravity well like the moons of Jupiter & Saturn. There we might well find the kind of resources that we need for further efforts. Cheaper in every way.
