Default humans colonizing Mars....

What do you think about spending billions of dollars researching and sending rovers to Mars? I mean the reason we are exploring the planet is to find out if it would be inhabitable to humans, right? Some might think that the money could be better spent here at home. Agree? And another thing, what gives us the right to leave our own planet and claim another planet as ours?

Then we would open a portal to Hell, and all the demons would overrun this dimension.

If we aren't harming anyone else, why is it a problem? It isn't as though we're kicking the native population to the curb.


As it happens, I don't think that humanity will ever colonize Mars, but its a great question that you asked.

we've only know so much about Mars. can we actually say that there is NOT a native population already living there, whether they be microbes or 5 ft tall green slimy things? :eek3: h:

why not? :happysad: it wont happen in our life time, but something that will is sending a manned spacecraft there. and thats the first step to who knows what. IMHO of course.

Humans will need more room in the future. better to start now and research not only the planet, but methods of reaching it.

Knowing is half the battle.

We can start living really high up in the sky, and have flying cars, and robots for mades.
