@4:55 Yeah, you guys are aware that NASA lost Apollo 1 on the freakin' LAUNCH PAD, right? It wasn't even launching, either! It was just doing some testing and it caught fire and the crew died. Congress tried to shut the whole thing down immediately. NASA fought them off and successfully flew all the other Apollo missions without anyone dying (except for half of Apollo 13 and even THEN they got it and the astronauts back safely). NASA can do some amazing things when you give them a chance.
good thing this is out dated and we have begun to find water sources on mars and even other distant planets that could potentially be similar to earth ^_^
Kennedy said: "We do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard". He was right, whether it's about climbing Mount Everest, attempting to reach the new depts in the ocean, setting speed records in the air, or going to space.
Imagine Cecil George Paine had given up on penicillin after one of his patients died. Bye bye millions of people, hello again hundreds of would-be-harmless bacterial infections.
There's is nothing on the moon either. That didn't stop us from going. If there is one thing the government should be spending money on, it's science.
But if you have wars to fund, spy on your own citizens, lock people up form exercising civil liberties like drug use, etc. it's understandable you have cashflow-problems. We'd much rather spend money fueling the military industrial complex and the fascist enforcer corps (read, police agencies) than exploratory science.
Accidents are allways going to happen, no matter how careful we are and how much we learn from our mistakes. Becouse we are all humans, and it is in our nature to make mistakes and bad decisions.
So this guy admits that people are going to die on our attempt to reach and explore Mars. I wouldn't want to be the guy who goes on the first attempt to reach Mars if Nasa is prediciting I'm going to die.
0:21 As a reason to think humanity wont go to the stars, he says: "The only planet so far, that we could survive on at all is mars"
So... the only planet that we could survive on... is one of the very closest ones... and one of the first that we began exploring.
And because astronomy is honestly NOT EVEN yet in it's infancy... he thinks we're screwed because the only survivable body is one of the dozen or so we've studied extensively.
Considering that we wouldn't be able to survive on any of the planets in our Solar System, and surviving on Mars would be quite a difficult undertaking, the odds are only remarkably good if we figure out how to travel faster than the speed of light. Way, way faster.
That is, unless we figure out how to live on Mars. Then, the odds are pretty sweet. But, in the meantime, we're kind of screwed. Even saying we could live on the moon is quite a stretch.
When there are at least three heavenly bodies IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM perfectly capable of allowing human life, there's absolutely no good reason to think man will never go to the stars.
Don't take your own lack of imagination as evidence for anything.
Which three heavenly bodies would those be? Because the only two that we could conceivably live on are our Moon and Mars - neither of which are "perfectly capable" of allowing human life, I'm sorry if your imagination tells you otherwise.
I'm not saying that we CAN'T live on either of those bodies, it is certainly possible, but we need years and years and years of research until we make it viable.
Imagination isn't going to colonize other planets, otherwise we'd already be there.
If we could "conceivably live on" a place, then that place is "perfectly capable" of allowing human life. The only thing that DOES get us past the "instant death" and "hospitable" *IS* imagination.
Unless you think I mean "herpa derp, let's just walk to Mars for some pizza", in which case you're even stupider than you actually sound.
Stupid? I'm not the one who can't tell the difference between "conceivable" and "perfectly capable." You also seem to think imagination = science & tech.
Last time I checked, there weren't any bodies of water on the surface of Mars save for polar ice caps, there wasn't any vegetation, the atmosphere is around 95% carbon dioxide. That does not make it perfectly capable.
I'm still waiting to hear what you think the three heavenly bodies perfectly capable of sustaining human life are.
I had PLENTY to gripe about in your most recent comment... but this... THIS... "Last time I checked, there weren't any bodies of water on the surface of Mars save for polar ice caps" proves that you're mentally handicapped, and I would simply be insulting you to discuss the matter further.
Just... ya know... for the record... you DO know you just said "there is no water on Mars, except for all the water on Mars"... right?
Do you know the magic cure for too much ice, not enough water?
33 degrees Fahrenheit... or... about 20 degrees COLDER than any environment that humans would be able to survive in for any sort of long period.
In other words... if we find a way to make an airtight enclosure (which we can), and heat it to human tolerances (which we can), the ice will (get this)... MELT!
Seriously. Do you know what "ice" is? Do you think you DON'T sound retarded here?

Those ice caps are pretty much rendered useless since liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Mars because it's too fucking cold you moron.
I should have listened to my parents when they said you can't argue with idiots. Serves me right, I guess.

@hossrex That ice might not ba safe as well and if we remove that ice; it could have large consequences for the planet and us.

If you were aware what "ice" was... you most certainly wouldn't make an ignorant statement like that.
You DO realize the plan isn't just to go out to Mars, chisel off some ice, and pop it into our martinis, right?
What DO you think the astronauts are planning on doing with the ice/water when we get there?
The fact that you wont know how to answer that question pretty much exemplifies how monumentally ignorant your comment was.
