Fascinating.

Terra-Forming Mars is a real opportunity - just not for a very long time.

Nor safely stable, if ever.

That's why I'm still promoting my liberal relocation program: http://mars-one.com/

Hmmm, still too close to earth.
Maybe we should consider the darkside of the sun, the North Koreans landed there without issue, and they'd never lie, and libs will always trust the word of a commie.... :biggrin:

I keep looking for the book how NK landed on the dark side of the sun.  That should get them the Nobel peace award in this day and age.   :popcorn:

I bet Icarus and Daedalus wish they'd had the little NK dictators science advisor around back then. :biggrin:

Colonizing a new planet is way, way too much work for the progs. There are no rich there to steal from. (I mean tax.)

Far better for conservatives to relocate, build up the new planet, and in 3 or 4 hundred years go back to earth and re-colonize it after the progs manage to kill themselves off.

Sadly terraforming Mars is impossible due to its weak magnetic and gravitational field. What we can do is make domed cities.

You were right the first time... (steal)

Now I don't think I will live until 3 or 4 hundred years let along 2 years.  Unless you know something about medicine I don't.  At my age I can use all the help I can get.   :lol:

Oh, splendid! And who pays the literal freight costs, hoisting the SECTIONS OF DOME into orbit here, then transporting and deploying it to Mars?

Tell me again why we want to colonize a place too bad to terraform. Can't wait for a reason that makes any sense at all except for military superiority of that part of the solar system.

We'll use 3-D printing with material from the surface of Mars. But truth is, why in the hell will anyone want to live there?
It's still our govt dictating the rules, so what's the attraction to living in a beehive?
I think Taxed had the right idea, sending liberals, Hell, look what England did with it's worst prisoners, sent them to a continent they'd never come back from, so why we do the same?

Did I mention once it's complete, we cut funding.

Can't wait for the day Spacex lands on mars.  It's going to be like landing on the moon all over again.

The only thing keeping Space afloat is American taxpayers. So why not just let NASA do it?
