The atmosphere there isn't proper to sustain our life, thus it would be difficult to do so. Moving people there would take billions, possibly trillions, which is something that the world doesn't have to spare right now.

Moving people there would take billions, possibly trillions, which is something that the world doesn't have to spare right now. Scientists plan on it; and it could help in our "search for E.T." Plus, we want to check for bacteria and whatnot- to see if life may ever evolve, or maybe- if we were to find some- we could bring it back to Earth. Also, it's not MY time line, it's an estimate made by scientists. I never said that it HAD to happen. ...and it would take billions or trillions or dollars.

Still, the idea of a Mars base does sound familiar. Didn't George W. Bush make a rather odd statement along those lines years ago? It's just that at the moment, there's no real motivation to undertake these sort of projects, and we still haven't exhausted the usefulness of probes.

When we went to the Moon, the whole world (well, big countries at least) were racing to be the first to get to the moon. Right now, the economy is crappy and no one has the motivation to do things like that, someday we will, just probably not in the near future

Besides the fact that a lot of scientists theorize that Mars was once like earth, learning about the atmospheres, collecting samples and actually being there would be a tremendous leap in science.

Or make a super atmosphere? It's not like the big rock people, who live under Mars' surface, won't come out to kill the astronauts, anyway.

It's not like the big rock people, who live under Mars' surface, won't come out to kill the astronauts, anyway. If we're using your logic, what's to gain from even going into space?

The technology advances are going up at a crazy rate so what he is saying might actually happend. MIGHT is the key word though. Quote: I still don't see any point in going to mars.

What's to gain from going into space? One day Earth might not be here. We need to escape to a younger and larger stable planet.

We need to escape to a younger and larger stable planet. Are you kidding me? The only way earth can predictably not be here is when the sun goes out (which renders all nearby planets a useless escape anyway) or if a large object, from space, that was big enough to blow the earth up would come blow us up and we found out about it beforehand. The only other way would be the earth aging to death. Which won't happen for trillions of years. Probably even more than that. Besides, all nearby planets will probably die the same fate around that time, anyhow.
