MSNBC reporting that NASA is looking into settling other planets.

ive always imagined how life would be offworld, working in the colonies, ahh the good future days.
they'll always need a workforce so anyone who's willing to work there should get the chance to do so.

hey deanyo that signature u use, are you from chile?

What if we put all our chips on mars and it gets hit? I say we keep looking. To be honest, Mars doesn't look like a winner to me

Good point! They would need some blue collar workers, long as they dont have robots doing all the stuff.

Haha, no. A really good friend of mine was though. Worked with him for awhile doing forest conservation work. That was a favorite saying of his when we needed to get something done. I dont know why, it really stuck with me. I do believe its the national moto though.

Yeah, I kinda see mars and/or the moon as like a staging ground before shipping of to the final frontier so to speak. Like I said, a project of that magnitude, you'd wanna test the crap outa everything..and everyone before shipping them off lightyears away. (im speaking just from the colonizing side, not so much the go to a new planet cuz ours is gone)

No problem, friend, just doing what I do best.

Cheers

mars doesn't necessarily have to be terraformed, all the elements are there for life, it is just a matter of how you use them. i believe, although extremely difficult, mars could be self sustaining. terraform could take 1000's of year and plus there is no magnetosphere so whats the point unless you start up the core. which it would just be easier to make dome farms and such.

at this point in time we should have all ready had drones and rovers and permanent beacons on every walkable object in our near neighbourghood

its been the same bs from day one.

and with the amount of junk thats up there one would assume that there would be more then sufficient material for recycling or combining in to something a bit bigger and more useful then whats at orbit....

like someone said mars is to harsh to colonize, and we would depend on earth supplies to sustain, i think one of the requisites for colonizing would be liquid water on the planet or moon, since that would make things easier. i think of mars as a mining operation not a viable long term colony, and in our solar system i dont think we will find a place to make a stable long term colony, like the scientists say it would have to be a planet or moon in side the goldylocks area of a solar system, but being outside our solar system would make the travel take too long if we dont have a technology to travel faster in space.

oh and the planet should also have some tasty alien animals for the colonists to bbq, lol
