Now that we've got this figured out, can we send a giant probe into Uranus? It would be nice to determine the density and ease of insertion into that heavenly body

they will say anything to get the money they need... the earth is flat there is no mars or other planets deal with it.




What in the fucking fuck is that! I had it to 7:40 before I just had to stop...That might be the worst thing I've ever seen.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Perhaps we'll go back to our home planet one day.

What? First off, if the sun burned out Mars would actually be a worse place to be than Earth. Secondly, there is going to come a time when humans out grow Earth. That is inevitable. Finding a way for humans to live on Mars is the first step in making sure our species survives. Long term, there really isn't anything more important being worked on.


Don't think the human race will last another 5 billion to 7 billion years(how long the sun supposedly has left) according to my religion. I know if the sun burned out Mars would be worse...that's what I was saying. Religion is the differing opinion here.

I don't think we'll last another 5 billion years either, but I also don't think we're looking at a time table of billions of years. I think by the year 2400 there will be people alive that were born on Mars.

I look forward to humanity destroying this second planet.

Besides, I believe before the Sun is due to eat itself, the Andromeda galaxy will smash into the Milky Way galaxy in like 2-3bln years.

From what I've heard they say the water is extreamly salty. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to drink that water :P

It's EXTREMELY salty, far higher than Earth's oceans.  So no, you would NOT want to drink it.  Plus, while it's extremely unlikely that any life exists in this water (or that it doesn't for very long, due to lack of atmosphere and constant exposure to solar radiation), we do know there are examples of bacteria on Earth with extreme resistance to radiation (which lends credence to the theory that life on Earth was spawned via panspermia), so it's plausible to assume some organisms can survive the short period of time these water flows are active.  We've no idea what such life could do to us...and I doubt anyone wants to be the guinea pig.

I'm sure it will still be imported at some time, exclusive restaurants serving extremely expensive dishes seasoned with water from Mars, together with wine aged under low gravity. That will probably be a big component to finance further settlement of Mars. That's just how our screwed up world works.
