Deathsheep. They just landed a space ship on mars the size of an SUV. I'm pretty sure that means if a couple people were in there they would be on mars now. Thus the tech exist.

I am not smart enough to know if it can be done safely or not.
I trust the players here to know best. I think our tax money is being well spent on space exploration.
I am proud of our countries accomplishments.

Not yet. Long a$$ trip. And if they have problems we don't know until 15 or whatever minutes later

I think sending an astronaut to mars would be kind of pointless, I mean it's impossible to live there, it would take at least 6 mo this to get there, Maybe send trash on there to help with pollution. That's just my opinion.

Sending astronauts to Mars - yes we should, though now may not be the time, wait till the economy comes back and the price of everything drops and NASA's budget increases to start planning for it.

Volc, most democrats are white folks.
So.....you may here this from Dems
"oh Buffy, that pretty negroid in our white house is great and destroying the economy. It allows us to buy expensive stock. Do me a dear and fetch my slippers"

You would think most repubs would welcome private industry taking over future space travel, since, let's admit, they hate govt control of anything and the shuttles were expensive to maintain and outdated. Instead all you hear is "that nagger Obama ended the space program!..God bless Merica!"

Cut some of the $800,000,000 defense budget. NASA only used $17,000,000. We are not even using most of it. Leave it to lobbyist to let money go down the drain

Should the government? No.
Should the people? if someone wants to raise the money for the trip, sure.

Not even having pitched a tent on the moon yet, we've already come close to wiping ourselves out a few times. what exactly are the chances were going to colonize mars? And who'll hold the land rights? Whoever sticks a flag in the dirt first?

In any case it's definitely something that should be done at some point because come on guys it's freakin' MARS we can't just ignore it forever.

In other words, pretty much exactly what Emsies said. Although 50 years seems kinda long when you think about it - 35 to 45 maybe?

Without a specified timeframe, I have to answer yes. Within the next 20 years? Probably not. Within the next 50 years? Hopefully we will have gotten enough of our earthly shiz together by then to make it a possibility.

There are plenty of Americans with big enough ball to go for it even if they knew there was a 50/50 chance of dieing and that is what makes our country great.

I think our finances need to get back to order first. Medicare and social security are killing any hope to go anywhere.
