MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 do you guys think mars one is possible? if so, how would the govt work there with just 10-20-30 people? just thought this was really interesting... is there something weird about a private company colonozing mars?

/dev/null Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Possible? Yes Probable? No That said, it's a bold idea and a start. Just because they won't get there by 2023 doesn't mean the venture has to be a failure, we can still get there only later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The economics of it don't work, because it'll have to be paid for by too much enslaved labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Had to google them...a company that wants a manned mission to mars by 2023...They have 4 employees: (1) Entrepenuer who started a windpower company (2) Physiscist who works on telescopes and maybe payload design (3) Marketing person (4) Graphic artist They should get to Mars in no time.

Now wait a minute. I just heard they hired a janitor who used to build Estes rockets as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieScooby Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Put on a comparative level we are to Mars, what Christopher Columbus was to America. Within 500 years it is highly probable we will have colonized Mars and beyond. The nearest star is 35,000 years away with present technology. Given advancements in our understanding of physics I'd say we will be traveling near light speed within the that time period. My only regret is we are still living in a primitive society when compared to technology 35000 years in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also possible that we are to Mars what the Romans were to Northern Europe/India/China/etc They knew something was out there and sent expeditions But their Empire was too over stretched and lacked the ability to manage their internal affairs. So they ended up imploding Within 500 years it's highly probably civilization will have devolved back into tribal feudalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Why? When we have so many people out of work, needy, no insurance would we want to spend all this money going to mars. We need to cut all non-welfare spending to the bone and give it to the poor, black, illegal immigrants, elderly, and liberals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what/who/how but given the fact that Archimedes was only 2200 years ago and to see how far we've come, it's not unfathomable to think our understanding of science will be far advanced in 35000 years over our current understanding.

I don't need your lengthy Chris Mathews and Bill Maher videos. If you have nothing better to do at 3:00am take a walk down Bailey Avenue dressed up in a white sheet.

3rdnlng Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 stop being a little B word! this is ppp! No genius, your schit goes directly to my work email address. Regardless, it is not the thing to do when you've been asked not to do it. The last time you PM'd me it was full of calling me every name in the book. I don't want you to do it again, and I especially don't want your sniveling little ass sending me third party videos. If you have anything to say to me, have the balls to say it in public.

Naw, I originally started on the main board and it was no big deal. After making a political comment Lori Chase directed me to PPP which I didn't reeally know existed. It isn't even so much that it's a work account. I just don't want him PMing me and I especially don't want to get third party schit from him.

CosmicBills Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh, please tell me what our advancements in understanding physics actually are that will accomplish that. I need a good laugh today. Isn't our understanding of advanced physics constantly evolving? I'm honestly asking because as you well know reading my stuff, I'm no scientist. I kind of echo what Skooby said in his last post ... which I didn't notice until after I started writing this response. I don't know what/who/how but given the fact that Archimedes was only 2200 years ago and to see how far we've come, it's not unfathomable to think our understanding of science will be far advanced in 35000 years over our current understanding. Or is scientific knowledge finite? ... I now realize that's two different questions. Still, curious as to your thoughts about those subjects for obvious reasons.
