Colonizing Mars

[Lauda]

Terraforming requires Nuclear Fusion energy, actually mars is perfect for nuclear fusion because there is no will by current governments to adopt fusion on earth so Mars will be a good scenario.

However the logistics involved to construct massive fusion plants and teraforming technology will require another 300-500 years+ of advancement.

For the last time Mars One is a bullshit project, that will fail or significantly delayed.

You're underestimating the development of humans. This will come much sooner.

I think you're underestimating the cost logistics and even desire of why humans would want to even attempt this anytime soon.

[yatsey87]

Yeah, why would they want to do this or get the money from?

Why would you want to remain on this Earth?

You could mine up there. If there is something to mine.

Why would you want to go anywhere else? And what's worth mining?

We will deplete the resources on Earth very soon.

Far from being true, we have enough resources to last us for tens of thousands of years. Renewable technologies are also replacing fossil fuels overtime and other emerging techs reduce reliance on various resources.

Things like synthetic food (already developed in labs) can replace reliance on soil.

The whole earth is dying is mostly grass eater bullshit that wants us to go back to stone ages ignoring texhnology. The only real threat is pollution like dumping waste in land fills and oceans, Air pollution etc.

 I'm all for colonising Mars asap just because I am a visionary but I'm also realistic about idiotic claims of terraforming Mars within the next few decades.

What resources are those?

The world won't last that many years. If we reach 2200 we should be happy. +1 for pollution and global warming.

[counter]

why don't we just work on fixing the problems we face here?  You know actually address the issue of pollution and the so called Global Warming.

My thoughts exactly.

We will be using all possible options for the humanity to survive. By only living on Earth we are like putting our eggs in one basket.

[supernem]

Forget about private companies investing. When we have the technology to go to Mars, there's going to wars over who gets what.

[supernem]

What resources are those?

Helium for hard drives.

Best stop wasting it on balloons then. And I very much doubt it'll be profitable to get the helium from elsewhere.

Obviously this is why you'd want to move to other planets. Why did we colonize America?

A different country is not the same as a different planet.

It was a hard trip back then. So the comparison works.

Using boats to cross oceans and shuttles to cross the solar system are hardly a fair comparison in probably every way possible.

You do realize that we weren't developed at all back then? I mean our development rate has been very fast in the last 100 years.
