I agree too bad! We should start to look to colonize Mars and/or the moon. As the Earth gets over-populated we will need another place spread and take-over! Mars and/or the moom seem like the most local places!

I know tell Bush there is oil on the Moon! He will have a colony set-up before he leaves office!

I'd rather have a supertrain to my domicile in Antarctica than goto Mars.

I always thought supporting space travel was a political issue without strict political opinions. Some people are for it, some against, liberal and conservative alike. I think it all comes down to if you're a startrek fan or not. And I, for one, would love to go to space!

How many people a day do you think that we will need to send into space to relieve the stresses of over-population on earth?

I don't belive the plan is to actually ferry large population up there. I belive that the goal is to benefit from the research. For example, they train underwater for those missions. So, in the process of getting to Mars, underwater habitats might become viable places to live. Once you can live deep underwater, extreme temperature environments can be done also. Once you can live in any earth environment, we can build up the whole planet like Corsucant.

I don't know if its a matter of how many people. Right now I don't think we are over-populated. Granted there is no WW III, I believe by 2050 that tune will be very different. If a colony on Mars by 2025, then by 2050, who knows what is possible. I think American should start making this a priority!

I have a hunch that the human race will die out before we ever have the technology to sustain a livable atmosphere on Mars.

Maybe some alien life will visit us before then and take us away before we die here.

Doubt it though. I mean I wouldn't want us on our planet either.

I don't think we will ever be able to relieve the pressure of over-population by sending the overflow into the solar system (let alone to the stars) - going to Mars & elsewhere and establishing bases or even colonies.. that is more about discovery & learning new science.

As for the teeming multitudes on earth.. that is easily within our control to stabilize. But, that is a hornets nest of controversy.. mainly due to ignorance & religion. Too bad. Life is about quality.. not quantity.

Even Ceres has 4 million sq mi of surface to explore.
