Do you think living in Mars would be successful?

There are about three things I see could go wrong given they have a machine to create oxygen for their tanks.
1. Insanity- yes, you can interview people before leaving but mental health is so unpredictable. I am assuming the chances of someone losing their mind after a couple of months or years is very high.
2. Weather- the Martian surface is full of dust storms and violent weather.
3. Ethics- they are planning on allowing people to have children over there but is that really ethical? How would you even explain to this child and how would it impact someone’s mental health knowing they are a Martian baby?

Nah we would only fuck that place up too!

Being both a science freak and a bible reader (might have those backward) I consider that it is clear there was an ecological interwoven system of abundant support well before man arrived. This is not only clearly written in Genesis but the fossil record as well.
Mars has non of this.
However "The Earth was formless and waste" just like Mars is now.
If man had not "sinned", we might well have been tasked with, and completed well before now, populating the other planets.
It is clearly stated that the earth was formed for a purpose, so have to apply that to all the other planets.

Biblically man was not created with the capacity to direct his own steps. As much as we love to think we learned all the secrets of the universe, a true scientist knows we know a tiny %. So some one who created the universe and us would be a great asset in such a daunting task, don't you think?

Define successful. I'm not really sure what anyone is hoping to achieve.
I'd imagine it would probably be a bit like living on an offshore oil platform - living in a small, isolated shithole, just so you can work extracting some kind of mineral resource for a big corporation.

It's actually a rather bad idea for many reasons:

1-Anyone there would basically be trapped in a place bombarded by large amounts of radiation, due to the lack of magnetic field on Mars.

2-Any access to resources for survival would be extremely limited, including medicine and such, so any complications may compromise the situation a lot.

3-It can easily wreck someone at a psychological level.

And that's without mentioning social aspects.

Not a chance in hell. Why? Women are incapable of being responsible, so if women go then everyone will die. If men go alone, then eventually their colony will die because they can't reproduce on their own. There is no way around it.

Not unless they can move mars closer to the sun. You need the sun. Not just in a mechanistic way, but for intangible things.

[Asker]

Hahahaha you want the people from Mars to die of extreme heat? Hahahaha

[TommyMountainFigure]

Nope.. One day we might find habitable planets with technology advancing to the point where we can reach further out, but sadly Mars won't be an option.

[Deathraider]

Not at the moment. I mean for one thing, any sort of attempt to colonize requires some sort of resupply mission, and there’s an open window to launch supplies every two years. Now imagine if one of those resupply mission fails.

Why should it?
Living on Earth isn't very successful either.

[ibodi]

human problems still. They will kill each other
due to rape adultery... etc

[4eyes2mouths]

It will definitely be a different way of life but tbh I believe it will work. In time.

[AviatorTom]

Eventually, humans will live on Mars and other planets, but that may not happen in our lifetimes.

[slatyb]

Unlikely. We can’t successfully live in closed environments on Earth.

[Rizwan_khan]

No human can't. Fight with nature. And human don't try to revive earth but try to make Mars habitable what a pitty human espacialy Elon Musk moron.

[KrakenAttackin]

"In" or "on" Mars?

We have the technology, all it would take is the decision to go and the cash to make it happen.

[LilyByte]

probably not most likely will just become a place to mine for minerals/metals

[bootieclapper9000]

mars is not real

we live inside a glass cage

[888theGreat]

Jesus will be coming back before that happens if it could happen

[Anonymous]

I think we need to prove we can successfully LIVE on the moon first before Mars.

[exitseven]

Probably more successful than living in Chicago.
