our travels to mars are the next step. we're stagnating here, finding reasons to fight and consume. we could be exploring if we started another space race

[WelcomeToCarnate]

You really think that humans, the most invasive species on this planet(Fire Ants ain't got shit on us!)care about disturbing delicate environmental balances? If we did care, we probably wouldn't be paying Mars such close attention. We're already killing one planet, and now we're setting our sights on the next victim. The human race is a killer that's using one hand to hold some binoculars to check out the hot chick across the street, while using the other to strangle the chick we've already got.

@D34dFilms just need to shake a large volume of space centred at the sun, like when you shake a funnel containing a marble and the marble's orbit increases, sure we be able to do that in a couple of years

unfortantly just because it happens that way on earth that means it happens that way on earth i now thats self explanitory but people who belive in aliens dont seem to under stand this cncet

EARTH IS EARTH

rest of the unvierse is rest of the universe

there could be iron based life on mars (we are carbon based)

@clifftontattoo Don't worry, once we run low on oil in a few years...where else could they drill?

@vayahoo There is Oxygen on Mars, but either very little, or most of it is bound in CO2.
