How soon will we colonize Mars?

Microtransaction out the wazzoooo!

Until the Martians come back from their long vacations and wipe us out.

Wise and true words. 👆

I'm gonna say at least the next century. And that's a stretch.

2200? Sounds viable.

Space Force is so great and so perfect.

😂

I already told you guys, Matt Damon!

Its phenomenal and good in every way and fantastic. So perfect and outstanding.

I didnt read the link you posted in the op, broly, because i thought it would be a better time to speculate without being biased from the article.

I think one of the most potent forces currently operating on the planet is advertising, whose power as a force has increased exponentially due to everyone participating in mass data collection via using social media, smart phone apps that track your steps, streaming services etc.

So the question to me is; what way will public opinion sway in regards to the mars question?
If the public views space travel favorably then it will obviously happen at a much faster pace, alternatively tho the public could be unaware of the vast treasures that await us in the cosmos and governments and entrepreneurs will clandestinely claim their stakes while an unassuming public continues to channel surf and stare at their phones.

So lets hope enough tik tokkers and youtubers fancy space travel so we dont have to continue to limit ourselves to only one little ball of dirt.

Ive always loved science fiction and i think if the right group of pioneering souls lands on mars we could see them create something we couldn't begin to imagine with our earth based chauvinism.

Andy weir's books are so cool because he puts in the work to make the book believable via real world math etc.

I think in the current system it will depend very much on what monetization avenues we will find. I do think we could colonize Mars in Musk's timeframe theoretically, but will we want to, that's the real question, I think

I think the common person wants to. But we spend hundreds of billions in the US on useless things propping up products, services, and markets that add little to no value to the long-term economic landscape.

I agree. I do think you could get a fair amount of people to fervently support it. I am just not sure that it will really happen.

In my ideal world it would be a project for humanity the different international space agencies working together for the good of the people, but that's sadly naive, I think.

We will probably colonize Mars when dumbass Conservatives (

Spoiler:
like the kind who run like bytches from forums because they knew I was coming back to blast them🤣

Well if we try to introduce a species that can open the environment and other factors it would probably lead to new sciences
