"HMMMM, not gained anything at all? Have you been taking your measurements and see no difference?"
Would you pioneer Mars?
Presuming that you had the opportunity to travel on this venture or another program to colonize Mars and that it was not only dangerous but almost certainly a one way trip with no possibility of return, would you go?

Before you jump off the deep end there is something that needs to be considered. You may not live long enough to get to Mars alive. We still don't have shielding capable of keeping the space craft's occupants alive through a solar 'storm'. And that's only one problem. Think about 6 months trapped in a small 'boat' with however many other people with not much to do except 'pass the time'. You can't exactly 'get out for a breathe of fresh air' can you?

A few years ago, I read that scientists speculated that Mars could be made habitable for earth creatures using the day's technologies in about 500 years. And the thinking followed that the more effort put towards that goal,the faster technology would gain and knock up to 400 years off that span.
Well I don't think enough effort has been put forth yet to reduce it much. But, the need for another planet to help sustain Human kind might become the driving factor.
Throughout history, we have most often succeeded when the need out weighed the want.
So, I'd go in a New York Minute if my efforts alone meant continued life, liberty, and happiness for my posterity and theirs. I believe that most would/will pioneer that great frontier in that light.

Yes. I am young and so in that time I will be 28. Hopefully I will have made some money and would be able to go.
I would be apart of human history, I would become one of the first hand full of people to colonize a different planet. This has been my dream since I was 7. I would do this 100%

I think I would do it. Christopher Columbus of Space (minus the murder of the native people)? Leif Eriksson, perhaps... That sounds extremely cool. Plus, I'll be the perfect age at that time.

chad posted a discussionCoed friendships while in a relationship
So a previous post of mine brought up an interesting debate. Is it okay to hang out with people of the opposite gender while you are in a relationship? What are the limits to this? Is it okay in a group setting but not one-on-one? Is it okay in public but not private? Does it matter if you know this other person? I can't possibly come up with all the possible scenarios on here so feel free to come up with different ones.The final topic of discussion for this is what would you do if you…See More

Hyrum Higgins posted a discussionAdvice on whether to stop talking to a girl
I have liked the girl for a long time. Years. I'm 18 now, and for most of the time I know her, I mainly just talked to her. She doesn't live nearby. Tonight, I finally told her of my feelings for her over the phone. I shouldn't have waited this long but I did. She didn't return them. As politely as she could she told me that she wasn't especially attracted to me, and that my obvious attraction to her had made talking to me and being friends with me a little awkward at times. It was a relief to…See More
