Icedrake Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Why would we colonize the moon, when Mars is the best possible choice right now for colonization? Weird. Would be nice to live on another planet, and call a friend back on Earth: Me: "Hey how are you doing?" Friend: "Doing good, heard you moved. Where'd you move to?" Me: "Moved to Mars, it's awesome here." Friend: "Mars? Nice!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winapp2.ini Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think that we need a colony there as a jumping off point to move to Mars. AJ "The average recorded temperature on Mars is -63 ?C (-81 ?F) with a maximum temperature of 20 ?C (68 ?F) and a minimum of -140 ?C (-220 ?F)." I'll take uhh.. staying on the Earth for now. By the way, did you guys know the Moon is almost HALF the size of Earth? It never gets portrayed that way though. I guess being ~200,000+ miles away makes it seem really small. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just starting off big first, then moving to something really big. They need a close to home test bed first for testing of needed life sustaining things such as growing food, producing their own water and oxygen, etc., as getting a steady supply from Earth would be too expensive and very impractical for sustained living off world. In short they need to be completely self sufficient without needing constant life lines from Earth. Also with the moon being so much closer it's possible a rescue mission could be launched if something went wrong like a broken return vehicle, if that were on Mars they'd be screwed. I watched that NatGeo program, and it was rather interesting, perhaps somewhat bold however it will one day be a necessity if an asteroid or comet hits the Earth, or a super volcano erupts devastating life world wide there could at least be Earthlings elsewhere in the solar system who could later re-colonize the Earth. Oh how nice it would've been to be born some thousands of years in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted July 21, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hazelnut I think a broken device like that would result into a scrubbed mission, then again there's always the vacuum of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually, and with everyone being so green we may be the organic recycled compounds of a space vehicle dashboard, or worse the seat cushion, or the fossil fuel in the distant future.
