    I seriously doubt it. There are just too many technical issues to be overcome. All that would take tons of money, and we have much more urgent things to spend it on, and we don't want to spend it anyway, even if we had it, which we don't.

    And there's nothing really to be gained by it. We can do all our space exploration cheaper/safer/more dependably with robots. Manned space flight itself has become more or less obsolete.

    they could certainly. that is going to take a sturdy even as to develop the life help technologies to save human beings alive and produce them residing house. The Moon journeys were almost a week. The Mars journeys will be a lot in the course of a 12 months and a 1/2 to 2 years. a lot of MREs or equivalents to haul, to decline longer something of water and oxygen. let's have a look at how the ISS does with the lengthy length missions, and the astronauts' potential to get over the end results of weightlessness. someone is going to ought to step as a lot because the scope of the prices and the hazards.

    I hope so. If we'd continued the momentum from the Apollo moon landings over 40 years ago, we'd have landed on Mars in the 1980s, we'd have permanent settlements on the moon, and we'd have sent manned exploratory missions to Jupiter and Saturn by now. We'd have landed on Europa by now, and determined if there is life in its ocean.

    Instead, our politicians wimped out on taking the High Ground, and we diverted resources into huge detours like the Space Shuttle and worthless high tech orbiting junk like the ISP. Today's brilliant engineers work on things like cell phones and aps, not rockets and space exploration.

    What a lost opportunity. "Fartsy" complains about it being a waste of money, but he/she doesn't understand the economics involved. Democrats curtailed the space program in the 1960s so that we could fix poverty first...and 40 years later we still have poverty. Republicans curtailed the space program because it was expensive...but the technology developed originally for the space program jump-started a high tech revolution that has returned trillions on the few billions invested. It was and is just dumb that people don't think "big picture" on this.

    If the American government will see to it then in about 50 years.

    If private entrepreneurs will then in the next 10 years.

    It's already been confirmed that seven people will go to mars within 20 years and will stay there the rest of their lives.

    False. The Great Alien Invasion will occur before then.

    who cares, we have problems at home and there's nothing on mars worth going there fore. i wish the 1% would stop wasting our money on that crap while our economy is self-destructing at home. they're going to end up like marie antoinette if they keep it up.

    True, they're already being planned. Not landing ones that I've heard of, but still.
