Yet.

How do you know?

What's so good about this shit rock? There's nothing there.

Some brilliant scientist thinks that because he is stuck in a wheelchair with no motor control of his function or faculty that he can determine the best plausible outcome for the location of the next Earth. Stephen thinks the earth will be dead in 100 years. Stephen thinks that the next home to humans is Mars. Will it? Won't it? The boss of the World will be the one that gives the final say.

I think plants can survive on mars. If we put some there maybe we can terraform it.

It's nearby, has similar mass to the earth, has natural resources useful for colonization, and it isn't earth. It's frankly the only semi-reasonable option for colonization until we figure out FTL or bite the bullet and go the generation ship route. There are still major problems in the way though, mars has no atmosphere, and more importantly, no magnetic field. Without that field, solar winds would strip away any artificial atmosphere we created, to say nothing of what it would do to unprotected organics.

Why is colonization important? Assuming that we manage to avoid destroying civilization ourselves, we're still just a meteor or solar flare away from extinction. A self-sustaining colony off-world would ensure the survival of the species should the worst happen.

People are so fucking stupid they think colonizing another planet is preferable to orbital colonies. Science fiction movies were a mistake.

>t. Space nigger

We're going to find your home planet sooner or later

How fucked could the earth get that Mars would be a preferable place to live? And just in the next 100 yrs? Sounds like bs

You have to build orbital colonies, generate gravity, etc. You have plenty of foundation on a planet

Muslims aren't allowed to go to space because the direction of Mecca isn't constant.

Brainlets dont know the human colonies established there in the 60s.

...

>You have plenty of foundation on a planet
Yeah if you want to live in a fucking cave. Is that your idea of the next epoch of humanity? Space cavemen? If you want to live on the surface you have to build what is basically an orbital colony, but on the ground. And you can't easily travel to and from it because of the gravity well of the planet. There's no benefit to colonizing rocks. Just send robots to harvest what resources are there and chill in orbit.

prothean data

space is fake

except food, water, and atmosphere.

how do you know?

The chances of anything coming from Mars
Are a million to one, he said
The chances of anything coming from Mars
Are a million to one, but still, they come

the earth is flat....

Nobody wants to go to Mars for Mars itself. Its practice for going further and further from Earth, so one day we might venture to the stars.

It would be safer, cheaper, and more beneficial to colonize the ocean floor.

Oy vey how about you shut your fucking mouth goy! Earth is a fucking ball, got it?

It's a backup.

Mars just looks suspicious dunnit
Like, you know, whats he hidin

Hell as nigga I read the abyss I ain't goin anywhere near that bitch you keep that fuckin megalodon shit fo yoself

The act of simply colonizing mars increases humanity’s chances of survival substantially (given the case Earth ever gets too fucked up).

The goal of colonizing other planets is the survival of the species.

but bro, the ancient portal from which flooded this planet with water is down there, who knows what surprises the ancient portal may hide, yummy nestle chocolate or candy shapes inside

the red planet is humanity's past, and future

>There's nothing there.
that what's good about it

There are no niggers there so that automatically makes it better than Earth.

buy a nikon p900 (x83 zoom) and take a look at that shit rock for yourself

martian terrain and impact patterns on the planet are fascinating. the north and south hemispheres of the planet are incredibly different in terrain and elevation. a good amount of evidence points to at least one enormous impact causing nearly half of the planet's surface crust to be ejected into space leaving behind a stark dichotomy between the north and south along with a global-spanning cliff varying between 1KM and 3KM high

underrated

I heard the problem with a multiple generation ship crew is that the offspring born in space would develop irregularly and create medical problems

Here is what earth will look like when all the whites are gone, and it's beautifull

It's further away from the sun.
The sun is expanding and In a few million years Earth will become like Venus

> It's frankly the only semi-reasonable option for colonization
What did the moon do wrong? Also there's dozens of asteriods at Earth's lagrange points that are easier to colonize than Mars.
Mars is very hard to colonize, because of its massive gravity well. Landing and lift off would be very hard. You see how much support hardware they need to launch a rocket from Earth? None of that on Mars. At least on langrange asteriods there is no substancial gravity well. This makes its far easier to shuttle to and from. Asteroids will be the 1st places man colonizes. This current buzz in the media of colonizing Mars is absolute horseshit. Zero chance in the next 30 years, less than 1% chance before 2100.
My estimates :
Langrange asteroid base : 2090
Moon base : 2150
Mars base : 2230

>What did the moon do wrong?
The moon is a great place but there is just no atmosphere.

>there's nothing there

mars has more iron within 3 feet of its surface than the earth has in total

you don't even have to mine it

Underrated

You have ti generate gravity on Mars also. Its only 0.38G

this logic also sadly means moon landings are unlikely any time soon. Flyby orbits of the moon are plausible though. To get the 1st landings on another world, i.e. langrange objects, we need to 1st get sustained space travel, like at least a couple of months. Not sure that's been done yet.

Manned moon flyby : could do now , zero economic reason though. guess by 2040
Manned landing on lagrange object by 2060

That's a lot better than 0.00G. If you drop $100K of tools it still falls to the ground instead of floating away out of your reach.

Meanwhile in an orbiting colony:

>there's dozens of asteriods at Earth's lagrange points
there's only two, one at each at L4 and L5

>implying Mars has a decent atmosphere
lul. u clueless fool. Mars surface atmosphere is less than 1% the denity of Earth's. Its practically empty space.
In that respect, Mars is no better than the Moon, and the moon has a much less severe gravity well. So Moon > Mars for colonizing.

Mars it's launchpad to the universe.

A moon colony would make sense if they can fix the growing in lower gravity issues.

more than the moon

The Moon doesn't offer enough redundancy. A large object could destroy both the Earth and Moon in one event.

>What's so good about this shit rock? There's nothing there.
What's so good about it? There's nothing there, not even Jews.

NASA confirmed organic compounds have been found in soil samples taken by Curiosity.

>What's so good about this shit rock?
>not even Jews
there is your answer

There's nothing there except an abundance of materials that, when utilized correctly, can harbor life.

There honestly probably is microscopic life already on Mars.

thats not a rock you fool.

>There's nothing there.
>There's no niggers there.
>There's no jews there.

The great thing about a blank canvas or a block of marble is their potential - they can be whatever you make of them.

methane is an organic molecule, and there are literal lakes of it on some bodies on the solar system.

wtf is this picture, feels like hell.

Octane is an organic molecule that breathes life into our chariots of freedom.

You're right, it's CGI

Only residual magnetosphere. Not practical for colonization at our current level of technology.

a picture of mars as taken by one of the Mariner probes.

Can you faggots honestly not tell that this pic is CGI?

How do I know you aren't a bot?

The entire planet is an Archeological dig site, discoveries made on mars will change the course of humanity forever and advance humans into a space faring race. They will be digging for centuries perhaps thousands of years and still find something of interest.

3rd worlders always say that

Why go with generation ships when you could go with ai controlled baby making fabs? I know movies have created this image of romantic boats in black seas of bright pearls but come on.

>not a single nigger, spic, chink or jew for 100's millions miles

i dunno, sounds like prime real estate desu... I'd buy in now while it's cheap

Ancient ayy lmao cities with 9/11 atlantidic 4D hexagons.

Generations spent in zero-g would leave the colonists unable to even walk in standard gravity

>generate gravity
It was not yet used with sucess in space, we have the theory of it and some practice, but not yet on a large scale, much less in a small space ship to carry humans.

>Supposedly a lot of iron
>Lower gravity

It's for building & launching ships that are actually capable of getting the fuck out of our shithole of a solar system to score alien pussy.
