Just a topic of opinions on how smart you think humans are, practically. I think we may- after all, we already have the new space suit prototypes planned out and made.

Hello little fella! Posts: 2,147 Group: Peach Member #6,793 Joined: January 1, 2008	I thought this was about some shit unit we did in ICT in year 9(U.K) but I don't think it will be that soon but maybe in the next century.

Sorry- I worded it a little wrong... how about "when do you think we will have a successful human mission to Mars?

Roar. Posts: 1,258 Group: Birdo Member #11,313 Joined: October 17, 2008	Yes, we would be likely to lose MANY men... (and women, you know what I mean) Probes are hard to control and we still have trouble getting them to dig. ...but I guess if we would advance to sending humans to other planets, we could advance our probes, right? ...it's man vs. machine.

Skidoosh Posts: 1,251 Group: Yoshi Member #9,029 Joined: March 19, 2008	I think there's a one in a million chance that we'll start inhabiting mars. I know that we have definitely got to land on it within that time. we can do it now. But it's too risky and costly. Maybe around 2050 we'll start the process of inhabiting mars.

I never said that they'd go many ships in- and sometimes the government makes dumb decisions, too. ...I also never said they would go before they were certain- or almost certain.
