Manned Journey to Mars

[/pine]

Personally I find any space exploration exciting..but I think Mars (as a future site of evacuation etc is ludicrous)...I think they should work (spend the money) on technology that will make it easier to build larger orbital and beyond orbital stations...IMO it is stupid not to use the moon first for learning and developing space stations/bases etc...

I like the thought process. :thumbsup: It's something that is always interesting to think about.

Two major obstacles that need to be overcome, and topics I love to read about, is first, how to create and sustain artificial gravity. Not only for practical purposes, but also to maintain the human body structure. The next is how to create an artificial magnetosphere, as we have around the earth to deflect radiation. These would be critical to space stations further from home.

If we can send all the fat people to Mars (I am one, so I can say this , brothers) first, we may be able to accomplish this. :laughing:

Screw the human body structure, we need Mars body structure.

I just hope we can use the plasma weapons that we've been developing. I'm not real sure who we would use 'em against, but I'm pretty sure we'll know by the time we land/terra-form.

Screw the human body structure, we need Mars body structure.

You would lose mussel and bone mass. And your body would need several generations to adapt to the new gravity. All things being equal between earth and mars besides gravity, you would die a premature death.

That's already happened. Why am I still here? :laughing:
