Many space agencies, such as NASA or SpaceX are currently planning to establish permanent human colonies on Mars. I'm no expert, but I would think that establishing a colony on the moon would be much easier and less dangerous.

1. most of everything
2. farrr outtt dude

I'll be really bummed out if we don't meet aliens in my lifetime. However improbable.

...

I definitely agree, even if it were only microbial life, I would love to see some proof that life exists beyond our planet.

...

...

This why you're not the expert.

It looks delicious, like some sort of giant fluffy space-cupcake.

Why exactly would Mars be so much easier? The moon is much closer, and we can actually return from it, unlike Mars.

...

All of my NOPE.

...

...

Meh, I want full Protoss, just complete awe in the sublime looking into the sky filled with a mothership.

>Something we cant think of, even when on drugs
>Something we cant describe with our current words: Lightyears is a good start but still way too little

Space really is a mystery isnt it?

...

The entire universe is one giant mystery.

...

...

Actually I believe its beyond human understanding

>you will never live on a terraformed mars

...

...

...

The universe is one layer of an infinitely complex biological system which is part of something else we can't comprehend which has some intricate purpose we will never understand.

...

So you're saying we're all cells inside the body of some massive space-person?
Well, your guess is as good as anyone else.

...

We live inside a black hole.

For one thing, Mars actually has some of the things we would need to have for long-term stays, such as water, something of an atmosphere though not much, and soil we could possibly grow food in.

The moon -might- have traces of water, but that's it.

Personally, I think we shoulda been terraforming Venus as soon as we figured it could be done. We'd be halfway to a habitable planet by now.

This is where you live, Sup Forums.

I think it might take a bit longer than that to terraform any planet, especially one with such a toxic atmosphere like Venus.

...

If you were given the chance to be one of the first to colonize Mars, would you go?
No questions asked, just pack up and you get to be one of the first civilians in space and to another planet.
I would, hands down.

...

That depends, would I still have a good internet connection?

With all the infinite amounts of universes out there, is there one where I have a girlfriend and don't think about killing myself everyday?

...

Seed the atmosphere with extremophiles from the ocean depths near thermal vents. Pressure is about the same and they consume the sulfur and carbon dioxide. It would take a while, to be sure, a couple of hundred years at least and we'd have to keep sending "seed" populations of microbes tailored to the environment. But it could be done.

As the CO2 levels drop, the temps and pressure would start to mediate to something a little more livable.

Our first human colonies would probably start out on airships high in the atmosphere. Commerce would be in industrial gasses and hydrocarbons.

There's no reason that you can have a girlfriend in this universe, user.

the only truth is that no one knows the whole truth.
Won't stop us searching doe.
that's just what humans do i guess.
It's fun to be alive.
maybe it was fun before we we're born. like the ultimate party you can't remember
maybe you get reborn somewhere else in time when you die.
Maybe we all live everyones live at least once. or maybe an infinite number ammount of times.
Maybe there's a heaven and a god and all that good shit we wanted to believe as kids. Maybe
Maybe humans are the only form of intelligent life in the whole universe...probably not
Maybe when you look up at a star there's something looking back at you.
cannabis should be fucking legal.

I lost my penis as a baby in a car crash

...

And this is why Sup Forums sucks.
We can't keep on thread going with good replies and intelligent conversation.
It always has to turn to "Iwanttodiemygfmyinternetmyporn!"

...

We can have good treads with some jokes user.

If you want to have some intelligent conversation, start one. There's no reason we can't have some fun with it.

...

I think there has to be alien life out there, just by the number of planets and stars out there.

...

...

...

You should look up the journal of irreproducible results, some fun science humour you might like

...

Right?
I mean my belief just goes with the percentage possibility.
That being the fact there's SO MUCH SPACE, there just has to be something or someone else. It seems selfish to think we're alone.

>The Flaming Star Nebula

Aren't all stars flaming?

...

Man these threads always remind me of how unimportant we are

...

That's called the Fermi paradox isn't it? I think there must be some discovery any civilization gets to that causes their destruction. It could possibly be artificial intelligence.
