It's all about prospects and hard work. Palatine Send a noteboard - 24/04/2013 03:16:56 PM

If you feel that all the hard work you do here will absolutely get you nowhere, then maybe that hard work will improve your life there. That's pretty much why anyone ventures anywhere away from what they've always known. Sure, there are other reasons for going, like adventure or glory, but that's the main one.

Oh, and to answer your question: I would not go as a settler.

I play air tambourine. Competitively.

If you could, would you move permanently to Mars? Dannymac - 24/04/2013 03:30:55 AM 1561 Views
You want to go where? *NM* Praziquantel - 24/04/2013 06:29:07 AM 460 Views
Have you read the 'Mars' trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson? Sports_Gambler - 24/04/2013 06:37:26 AM 987 Views
Well, I'll look into it. Dannymac - 24/04/2013 07:13:05 PM 888 Views
You need to read them, especially if you're this excited about the idea. *NM* Gher - 25/04/2013 04:39:11 AM 696 Views

I think it's incredible that such a thing is even being attempted A Deathwatch Guard - 24/04/2013 08:13:16 AM 977 Views
I know. It really perplexes me that so many people are so down on it. Dannymac - 24/04/2013 07:19:42 PM 925 Views
I am not gonna lie ironclad - 24/04/2013 08:24:57 AM 924 Views
No, and definitely not with this group Isaac - 24/04/2013 10:26:03 AM 989 Views
What's the problem, technically? Dannymac - 24/04/2013 07:24:22 PM 897 Views
Basically? Mass and redundancy Isaac - 24/04/2013 10:40:30 PM 815 Views
The mass is what I wondered about. Nate - 24/04/2013 11:03:36 PM 854 Views
Fuel costs are linear to mass, total costs are probably less Isaac - 25/04/2013 12:20:55 AM 805 Views
To put this in perspective, adding to Issac's points Roland00 - 25/04/2013 01:50:38 AM 864 Views
That's not really a fair comparison. Aemon - 25/04/2013 08:18:35 PM 824 Views

Re: That's not really a fair comparison. Aemon - 26/04/2013 08:58:45 PM 957 Views
I agree with your points, but you've still only listed financial (not technical) problems. Aemon - 25/04/2013 08:22:25 PM 838 Views
Finacial problems are technical problems Isaac - 25/04/2013 10:19:17 PM 829 Views
Maybe we just have different definitions. Aemon - 26/04/2013 09:25:33 PM 866 Views
Huh, double post. Haven't done THAT in a while. I, uh, blame Ben. *NM* Aemon - 26/04/2013 09:28:07 PM 942 Views
Re: Maybe we just have different definitions. Isaac - 26/04/2013 10:54:11 PM 831 Views
So, suppose someone put you in charge. Dannymac - 27/04/2013 02:14:44 AM 866 Views
Well that would be a bad idea, but... Isaac - 27/04/2013 03:29:47 PM 975 Views
Ask me when I am 60, I adored the Mar Trilogy though *NM* Roland00 - 24/04/2013 12:54:58 PM 506 Views
Anyone who would seriously consider that is desperate and/or depressed (or an astronaut). Tom - 24/04/2013 03:00:54 PM 816 Views
Re: Anyone who would seriously consider that is desperate and/or depressed (or an astronaut). Isaac - 24/04/2013 05:48:01 PM 832 Views
I'm not depressed or desperate. Does that make me an astronaut? Dannymac - 24/04/2013 07:11:14 PM 970 Views
Colonizing Mars sounds exciting but the romance would soon wear off.... Sports_Gambler - 25/04/2013 07:34:25 AM 914 Views
You're basically right, but they are planning for those contingencies to some extent. Aemon - 25/04/2013 08:43:22 PM 1027 Views
OK for the medical, but still, supplies of beer and coffee would surely be limited Sports_Gambler - 26/04/2013 05:55:38 AM 849 Views
You never know! Aemon - 26/04/2013 09:31:34 PM 819 Views

I wouldn't go like that. random thoughts - 24/04/2013 05:15:09 PM 869 Views
People should wait until we have spaceships that have artificial gravity and are like cruise ships Nighthawk - 24/04/2013 08:15:10 PM 862 Views
No, but I wouldn't mind sending a few people there ßelals Girl - 25/04/2013 01:52:56 AM 873 Views
