I'd rather colonize the the moon... but that's just me...
Three words... low gravity boobs =D Manswers anyone? Yes, yes I realize how hard colonization of ANY other celestial body would be but the moon would seem like an awesome test bed for colonizing mars and also seems much more feasable and the possibility of doing it sooner seems more likely. |

i could hardly see how it could be considered a waste. Imagine how crappy this world would be if christopher columbus took that same view. we are getting to the point where we really understand the mortality of our own planet. in the grand scheme of things it would be absolutly insane NOT to do so if we can manage to do it. right now all our eggs are in the same basket. A good sized asteroid could pretty easily render everyones existance 100% useless and irrelevant. I would feel a lot better having an asteriod wipe out this planet if i knew we had another planet where people would continue. All we really need to do to make mars livable is to start doing exactly what we do here, pollute the shit out of it which will release tons of carbon into the air, the planet will warm, the water will melt, and mankind will have 2 sustainable planets to live on instead of one. after that, expand out further. carrry on our existance. |
True.. But Christopher Columbus wasn't looking for America.. He stumbled upon it by accident. And his true motivation was greed, and his own personal advancement. I agree though.. It's always nice to have a backup plan.

The vikings setup shop briefly but never really did shit columbus was the first european to find the place, and it was his discovery of this continent that opened an opportinuty for people to spread out for the purpose of colonizing new lands, rather than the vikings way-stations for thier pillaging and plundering. it boils down that this place was not being colonized by the vikings, the europeans would not have been here for possibly a couple hundred years later if not for columbus's expedition. |
there are a bunch of theories that columbus was not the first europoean to discover the americas. i think he just took the credit. right place at the right time kind of thing.

Indeed. Light atmosphere, and it's much farther from the Sun. That way the colonists won't get... :flamed:
