Humans to Mars - Good or bad idea

Started by The Omega5 pages

There is NO oil on Mars.
Goodness. The oil deposits we find today were formed over millions of years. Fossil fuels consist mainly of dead plants -- coal from trees -- and natural gas and oil from algae, a kind of water plant.

There may be - or have been - microbes on Mars, but not plants and algae - hence no oil.

...but seriously...

Yeah we did **** up the planet but it's "normal". By definition we must **** up things to live. We need to convert what we have into the type of energy WE need. The other choice is to cease to exist. I know that some will say that the world would be better without us, but like I said, we either use what we have or we die.
I think that the exploration of space (Mars) is great but as some of you have pointed out, we should explore our own world first. I agree but only to a certain degree. Leaders in the third world have been know to "scrap" loads of foods that arrived in order to keep control on their weak population. If you put aside space till there's no more hunger and wars, we'll never leave more than 10 feet in the air...
Eventually we will need (as a race) to be able to "sail" aways as our ancestors did 100s of years ago. If america, canada, ect... hadn't been discovered (conquered) think of all the things that wouldn't have been discoverd... There are wonders out there that we cannot even fathom. One that comes to mind immediatly - imagine if earth was destroyed by meteors? Mankind might be able to go on with a settlement on Mars or on the Moon. They might even come to our rescue. But aside of sci-fi, the soil on other worlds could eventually be harnassed and actually be a solutions to third world's hunger...

Has anyone seen Total Recall?

There's water in them thar red hills. ✅

Total Recall was great - I loved those johnnie cabs...hehe.

I think Mars would be a great place to dump all of Earth's trash and nuclear waste.

And bring back some of that cheese.

No, thats the moon isn't it?

Yes, thats the moon, dear.....

Missed breakfast this morning ?

I'm dieting, cus we go away in about 5 weeks.

Me too. I've been 'slim-fasting'. 2 shakes a day....bleh.

Eueeegh. 😘

We've been eating steamed fish and veg this week, and we've started back to the gym again this week. I'm aching all over. 🙁

The gym is in the basement, so at least I don't have to drive there.

I tend to follow the fat people round the gym, to make myself look better.

I've heard that. That you should hang out with people who are bigger than you, to make yourself look smaller.

Thats all fine until somebody steps on you.

😂

You dieting for any reason Gun?

Holiday excess.

Me too, I put on 7 pounds! 😱

Get Mrs. Mech to chase ya around the house a bit...that'll burn some calories...

Naked? 😄

So...

George Bush Admnistration advisers told him that was a good idea for his re-election to restart the space program with a trip to Mars.

Does Little George knows where is Mars???
Does he think Mars is a chocolate?
Will be the Mars reconstruction done by his "friendly" enterprises?

😛

Why Don't they send him to Mars? Maybe Saddam hid his weapons there...

So George has made it official. There’s to be a base on the Moon, and humans are flying to Mars somewhere between 2020 and 2030.
