    For the sake of this discussion assume that space travel and space habitats have advanced quite a bit further than they actually have to date and that mankind has had a small-ish (100 - 200 inhabitants) colony on Mars for the last 10 years. Things are not perfectly safe and the life is not easy but babies are being born there with all the right number of appendages / organs and the colony is almost completely self sustaining. There is a planned expansion to boost the colony's population to 5000+ in the next couple years. 1. Are you interested? Why or why not? 2. How long (if ever) do you think it will take in reality for this scenario to become true?

    Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

          1. Only if I can keep going back and forth from Mars to Earth for visits. 2. Not sure. The technological breakthroughs we've had initially was a huge leap from almost nothing. Things have stagnated for a long time in terms of transportation (i.e., cars, planes, trains, boats). Once that initial hurdle is over, things will expand quickly until it stagnates again. I'd say at least another 50 years.

            You are going to have a lot of s3x in order to get from 200 to 5,000, in 2 year's time. Just saying.

              Not interested, but not entirely sure why. I would just rather stay here on earth. I think it will happen in my lifetime. They[^] go to mars

                  1: Yes, but as said before, it'll be so long before Mars will be open to ordinary folk that my grandchildren's grandchildren may get a shot. 2: Once they get there and establish a small colony; a proof of concept, so to speak the next stages will start to happen more rapidly as the need for new technologies pushes innovation and discovery forward. Probably at least 100 years.

                    1. I'm too old for the pioneering life, but if my grandchildren wanted to join - I certainly wouldn't stand in their way. 2. The answer to (1) implies that I think that it will be at least 30-40 years from today before the Mars colony is ready for such expansion. Don't forget that the colonists won't be the "poor, huddled masses yearning to be free", but highly-skilled engineers, scientists etc. I suspect that couples in which one of the partners does not fit an "essential skills" slot will be rejected out-of-hand.

                    If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                      Get your mind out of the gutter... they're sending 5000 new people up in ships over 2 years. The question is: Do you want to be one of those 5000?

                                      Get your mind out of the gutter... they're sending 5000 new people up in ships over 2 years. The question is: Do you want to be one of those 5000?

                                        For the sake of this discussion assume that space travel and space habitats have advanced quite a bit further than they actually have to date and that mankind has had a small-ish (100 - 200 inhabitants) colony on Mars for the last 10 years. Things are not perfectly safe and the life is not easy but babies are being born there with all the right number of appendages / organs and the colony is almost completely self sustaining. There is a planned expansion to boost the colony's population to 5000+ in the next couple years. 1. Are you interested? Why or why not? 2. How long (if ever) do you think it will take in reality for this scenario to become true?

                                        Everything we see, hear, feel, and do is either an integral part of or highly influenced by the lump of assorted rocks we live on. Even the gravity of the Earth and the Moon affect the way we think, by introducing stresses that are countered in our bodies by hormones -- so the effects of the environment we interact with more brutally are naturally more brutal. Do I want to know what changes standing on another planet will make to me, both physically and psychologically? You're joking, right? Where do I sign? Just give me the piece of paper to sign. I can be ready to leave in, oh, about three seconds.

                                        I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                          Mars doesn't have an ozone layer, as a matter of fact it doesn't have an atmosphere to begin with, it also doesn't have a magnetic field, which means all the high energy radiation from the sun will kill any organic life very quickly. The only chance they would have is to live deep underground in some caves. So technically it would not be on Mars, but underground Mars.
