So I read this article and in that article it said we'll be going to mars in 2023.

Mars One will take humanity to Mars in 2023, to establish the foundation of a permanent settlement from which we will prosper, learn, and grow. Before the first crew lands, Mars One will have established a habitable, sustainable settlement designed to receive new astronauts every two years. To accomplish this, Mars One has developed a precise, realistic plan based entirely upon existing technologies. It is both economically and logistically feasible, in motion through the aggregation of existing suppliers and experts in space exploration.
We invite you to participate in this journey, by sharing our vision with your friends, by supporting our effort, and perhaps, by becoming the next Mars astronaut yourself.

What are your thoughts on this? Will we die?

by 2023, we wont have the technology. By the rate of our technology getting better is at least every 3-4 years. We most likely wont have the technology to do that by 2090 or 2100

And i also think we will die, because Mars was once like Earth. When the "Comet" hit, it came in so fast it almost destroyed the Mars Atmosphere. The the devestation after all that, the ozone and Atmosphere would surely be destroyed. But then again, when the meteor hit earth 650 Million years ago or whatever, our ozone was crushed, and so was the Atmosphere, but it rebuilt it self.


So, unless God rebuilds the Atmosphere and Ozone, gives it more Gravity, like Earth, and make it more like Earth, we wont be able to live there.

Just my opinion on it.

I also find it hard to believe how they can transfer over a million of people to Mars. Isn't Mars a barren wasteland of fire? How will we survive on that? We can't wear the space suits.

Its not really a barren waste land, well it is, but not of fire.

Since the 2012 Mars Rover landed, we will have more intel and everything.

If Mars is really livable like Earth, I think only people who could afford to go there would be. I highly doubt we will have life on Mars in 2023 on Mars. How would they live without houses etc. Not many people would fit in a space shuttle :p

Good point. And lots of gas & money will be wasted transferring all those people.

And why would we have to transfer people on 2023?

What's happening on that day?

I think if it is livable most likely the rich will be headed to Mars. I want to name a country in Mars;Kristopia I personally would be afraid to live on a different planet. I think Earth is fine to live on.

It would be a long shot to survive. We wouldn't be able to do it. The air is 95% Carbon Dioxide, there is next-to no water. How would we survive?

Faith. We would have to put our faith into god.

But we already need to put our faith into god to keep us on this planet and to protect us

We never know, we might end up living some where that we never knew about? The world is full of surprises

If i had a chance of going to a different planet, i would take it :p

Mars One will happen. Finding another livable planet is definitely a necessity. We are screwing up our own planet. If living in a space suit is what we have to do to survive, then it is worth it.

I think that either in my lifetime, or the 100 years after it we will be living on a planet on a larger scale than Mars One proposes.

That is interesting that it could be possible, a little bit weird since Mars was not able to survive like earth because of it's smaller build.

Hotspot, let me explain to you what happened to mars:

A long time ago, way before anyone or anything was living on Earth, Mars was the size of earth, looked like Earth, basically Earth's twin. But HUGE Commet/Small Planet hit Mars. They shock wave destroyed the planet and made it into a barren waste land. Scientist thing that all the red dust is from the comet/planet that hit. They do know that the red dust is in fact radioactive. It's like the Chernobyl Accident times 8 Trillion. But back to the story, the comet/planet literately wiped every from the face of Mars. That's how it is smaller. The comet/planet came in so fast.

We may really need a new planet soon. I feel like we're dying already on this earth, LOL~ But not sure if Mars really can be used for us living, given the atmosphere and stuff.

i'm not leaving this planet

I also find it hard to believe how they can transfer over a million of
people to Mars. Isn't Mars a barren wasteland of fire? How will we
survive on that? We can't wear the space suits.

You might be confusing Mars with Hell.

How did they transfer many people over to the U.S back when they were settling there?
Have you ever heard of terraforming?
And we would be colonising Mars by now, if it wasn't for the governments wasting so much money on wars.
As for space suits, it's more likely to be giant biospheres around the planet although, you could always get used to using a space suit from going from place to place.

i'm 100% sure we wont live to go to Mars, God made us on Earth, not Mars

How exactly can you be sure?
The Earth won't last forever, it'll eventually run out of resources such as metal and the human population is expanding at such an incredible pace as it is.

People should start using protection..
And I've never heard of terraforming, what is it exactly?
If we do run out of resources, we will eventually die, and a new life will spring. That's the circle of life.

God will decide what will happen, that's that

Humanity has a drive to survive, it's not like they will let themselves go extinct so, it is fairly likely that it will happen.
Terraforming literally means making Mars be more like the Earth. http : // en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming

We can not make Mars like Earth, we would have to back into time to only god knows how far back it was, and stop the Asteroid/Planet from hitting Mars.

Do i need to make an article that tells you how mars is mars and how we will never be able to live on another planet?

Terraforming is scientifically possible although, it would be likely to take hundreds of years to even do it so, it's unlikely to be anything which anyone on these forums would see in their lifetime.
