'A project to take the next giant leap for mankind'
https://www.mars-one.com/
(I doubt anyone would say 'this is a hoax')
-
I've heard about that. Isn't that the mission that is a one way trip to mars? Whoever volunteers to do that is a little crazy
-
why? mars is a nice place. also, you'd be first man on mars. down in history forever

As cool as that may seem, I find it really hard to leave everything you love behind to go live in a desert. It can be acceptable if you're old, but there are plenty of 20+ years old wanting to go there spend their whole lives there. That's kinda sad
-
Well, I'm sick of this place! Too much oppression, wars, garbage, gross YouTube videos, disasters, revolutions, bullies, and poverty.
And procrastination. DONT FORGET PROCRASTINATION!!!
Anyway, I would love to go to a different world.
-
all those things will come with us

It's the same as 20+ year old people join the military; they're willing to fight and possibly die for the cause. It's not just a desert; it's a different planet with different properties than Earth. It's the same as people "living" in a man-made object orbiting around the earth, it's just a small space yet people enjoy it.

introverts
but yeah, when some astronauts were circling around the moon, they said they liked the silence and quite without command (on the other side opposite earth). ill dig out the source if you want me to
-

Oh, God, no!
-
well, probably everything except for poverty will come with us because only rich people will be able to go to Mars.
-
Warning: Comet C/2013 A1 Sindin Spring might hit Mars! Making him go to pieces ...

By 2035-40 buying a ticket to Mars will be like buying a ticket for the Train-When colonists arrive, someone is likely to be sitting in the gutter- err... Crater

Living on mars would be solitary. No real-time contact with earth, you only have the same bunch of people to see and talk to every single day.
What happens if a colonist becomes paranoid, what if they develop schizophrenia with no way to suppress it?
What happens when a colonist dies?
What if a few colonists live long enough that Mars travel is more worked out and they're able to perhaps return home?
No doubt NASA will have contingencies, but it's still things to think about. It's more than what being on the ISS is like.
-
I don't have many problems with that. As for when a colonist dies, reproduction should handle that. What? You want me to say the other word instead?

How could a comet destroy a planet

The team have imagination and hopes that this thing will work. So stop worrying about it.

How could a comet destroy a planet
If it was anti-matter, half the size of Ceres and going half the speed of light.
-
If the comet is fast enough, collision can liberate more energy than Tsar Bomba !!
-
Any comet in our solar system can wipe out all life on earth if it hit, what'd a you mean fast enough?
-
Bro tip: Don't get your hopes up
-
the comet should be so I guess without crashing

The cool thing about Mars One is that If they survive there long enough and train a lot, It is possible that within their life time the technology on Earth grow quick enough to make back travel possible.
IF* they SURVIVE* is an important point here.
-
I actually doubt that this will happen..
Its their 1st space mission and they already want to send people to another planet.

We'd be toast.
-
You'd go nuts in there. Isolation, it's lethal you know... In Mars death is everywhere.
-
Staying forever on an unknown planet with radiation .. There I would stay :P
-
They'd probably have a big EM magnet in the base to protect from the Sun's radiation.
-
Or you could just blast a hole through Olympus Mons so the pit reaches the inner core, throw an antimatter flask down the pit, and basically the core would heat up which makes sure the magnetosphere would increase so that it woud cover the surface instead of being tiny blotches that grow and shrink over time.
-
That seems like a pretty impractical and movie-logic based hypothesis. For example, what would keep the the core molten? It'd just die off after a few decades and we'd have to fir another casket down the hole.
Seems a lot more expensive than EMR's.

Explosions? Well of course you won't put a thermal generator down there, otherwise it'll melt.
-
Mars's core is moltyen still the evidence being that they detect parts of the magnetosphere covering only parts on mars's surface. in a few hundred-thousand years the core will go and cool. as for reproduction on mars those children wouldnt be able to return to earth because when they developed in the mother they would have a smaller heart because the heart does not need to pump against gravity like it does on earth, so they would need a special suit to come to earth as for their bones they would be weaker than those on earth because they dont need to fight against gravity as hard as the bones of people on earth.

It's not hot enough, thats the problem. Also note that if martian humans come to earth, they would find trouble breathing so they would probably be treated like a person with acute asthma

Think of it.. Mankind's first colony on another world. It makes me really happy.
-
i've heard that mars one hasn't really been run properly and it's either a hoax or a massive failure
which is pretty nice to hear
let NASA or ESA or someone who knows what they're actually doing send people to Mars pls thanks
-

Well yeah, the Mars One thing is decaying now and they've pushed back their mars transit date from 2023 to 2029

Lol why through the Olympus Mons though; You'll have an extra 22 km to blast through.
-
It would look so kewl though!!!! All that smoke coming out of a dead volcano!
-
I'm pretty sure NASA is more concerned over what's cheaper rather than what looks cool.
And smoke doesn't come from antimatter. I doubt any amount of antimatter we could practically produce cause anything at all to spew out of the drop-shaft.
It'd probably be more effective to drop a ton of Uranium-235 down there, since it would give off moderate heat over a long time rather than just give it all off in one blast.

If antimatter isn't contained well wouldn't it blow the ship up
-
Lol, If we have anti-matter, let's just build a warp drive :P

easy as cake

easy as cake
making cakes from scratch is pretty hard
-
Imaging atoms is pretty hard too
-
Not it isn't hard. It is just one nucleus inside a shell which is inside a shell which is inside a shell... ∞

Oh no... I think I have messed up the topic poll :P
