When will we colonize Mars in your opinion?

Question

Never! What is the point if you can not have any life doing things outdoors? You would be like in a prison, trapped inside with artificial means to make life possible there. If the low oxygen and heat doesn't get you radiation from the sun and cosmic rays will get you unless you are constantly shielded against it in cumbersome suits. That same radiation would kill plants too so you would have to grow all your food inside. What a great life that would be.

Not confident we'll be able to do so in our lifetime, alas.
But the steps forward we did in that direction have been awesome. The stride of our progress in astronomical knowledge is a thing of wonder. THIS side of the modern times I'm enjoying. Very much.
What happens on Earth though, it's a completely different story.

There is not going to be any more manned space missions for a long time. Trump was planning on going to the moon and then on to Mars. Biden is dismantling the Space Force Trump created and will let in so many illegal aliens the country will be bankrupted. We will not be able to go to Pittsburg never mind Mars.

We're scheduled to send the first astronauts in 2025, aren't we? Depending on what you count as a colony, then it should be set by 2026. If you mean like an independent settlement that doesn't need constant support from earth, then not for a few centuries, at least.

It will happen, but I doubt it will be in my lifetime. That's a shame. I saw men walk on the moon, so I'd like to watch the colonization of Mars unfold.

I don't think we ever will. I think we're going to collapse as a society, and never recover.

However, if we don't... there's a big difference between getting a human to mars and safely home to Earth, and actually being able to set up a colony there. We are several decades away from the first. Several centuries away from the second.

I would say between 2030-2050; we still have a long way to go.

Colonize? Somewhere after the year 2100. Terraforming may take centuries. In my view terraforming is better than colonizing.

najekim · Answer

Full colonization in the second half of the 21st century. By the start of the 22nd century there will be living Martians.

jshm2 · Answer

Never.  It's just a pipedream some billionaire have, to avoid paying tax.

John_Doesnt · Answer

We can't colonize Mars until we fix the problems with Earth. Stop pollution and stop AIDS.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Half a century ago, Armstrong landed on the moon. Result: nothing of significance. Why would Mars be any different? Perhaps, by 2100 or so, there will be some mining. But I can't see a 'colonization'.

OfDeath · Answer

I'd say in about 100 - 200 years. But there will be conflict over it.
