I asked a hypothetical question.Its gonna happen some day,we cant stay on this rock forever if we as humans wish to survive which of course we do,its instinctual.The planet may not even be mars(however mars is the most likely planet we will colonise),i was trying to get a feel of what the political implications might be for this kind of scenario.

Nobody really knows,thats why we need to put men up there.

Well how do u know this?Supposedly it used to be like earth so it propably has many resources that could be mined.Rovers and satellites dont show everything u know.

I was wondering what will happen when we as in humans eventually get the technology to transport ourselves efficiently through space which will inevitably happen whether it be 10 or 200 years from now.There is a very high chance that there will be wars over territory,i mean how easy would it be for the US to take over Mars when it obtains the means to do so.I know that there are treaties to stop these kinds of things happening but capitalist greed for resources will allways prevail,all u need to do is look to Iraq to prove this.

I find that hard to believe youngstrife,how much do u bench/squat etc?

I would like for us to go to mars but the US just isnt hungry anymore.

Why is it that people can not understand something for a long time and then one day the penny drops and it all becomes perfectly clear, i have experienced this many times.I just cant fathom how one minute something is a blur and the next minute its not,does it have something to do with the brain firing more synapses or something.Ime not talking about something u learn slowly either i mean a concept or abstract thinking.

Hi ime a newbie and dont know much about biology,anyway heres my question.Does the brain have a saturation point where its pretty much impossible to learn anything else?It must follow the same rules as any other machine/computer albeit much more complicated.

I found this link very interesting,its good to see scientists thinking out of the box and embracing alternative forms of propulsion. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2157975.stm
