do you think in the future

[(Anonymous)]

we could live on other planets?

Re: do you think in the future

Mars, quite likely. It'll take longer than people and Hollywood thinks, though.

Re: do you think in the future

This. There is oxygen on Mars, so it is conceivably possible. It will take a lot of time and effort, though. And we need to figure out whether people can even travel in space for that long.

Isn't it a few months to Mars? Didn't Steve Kelly just spend a year on the space station? Seems like the fuel to get there and back would be much more a hindrance than whether people can do it.

(And a year in space wasn't without its health issues, but from what I've read, they're recoverable. )

Re: do you think in the future

[philstar22]

From what I understand traveling in space is different than being on the space station. Unless we come up with a spaceship with spinning parts to have some gravity in bits. And big enough so the astronauts can move around and get exercise.

Re: do you think in the future

There's gravity on the space station? Size might be am issue.

Re: do you think in the future

[philstar22]

No, but the astronauts work out every day to make up for the muscle atrophy.

And actually, it would take 2 years to get to Mars. The longest anyone has been in space so far is 14 months. And at that point it took them a few months back on Earth to recover, particularly from muscle and bone loss. There would be no time to do that recovery on Mars, and Mars' gravity is lower than Earth's which would make it harder to recover.

Look a little deeper than Yahoo Answers. NASA says 8-9 months. http://www.nasa.gov/offices/marsplanning/faqs/

Re: do you think in the future

Coda: It will also happen a lot quicker than what some people think too.

Re: do you think in the future

[(Anonymous)]

Possibly? But the far, far future, realistically, and I'm not convinced it would ever become more than like. A side project.

Re: do you think in the future

[(Anonymous)]

"We" as in "people who are alive right now and could be reading this comment," no. "We" as in "the human species," yes.

Re: do you think in the future

[(Anonymous)]

No.

Re: do you think in the future

[herpymcderp]

We pretty much could right now if we had slightly better space flight technology.

Re: do you think in the future

[dethtoll]

I certainly fucking hope so. Otherwise we're doomed.

Re: do you think in the future

[(Anonymous)]

we could maybe travel to other planets some day in the distant future, but we wouldn't survive very well on them (unless there's a planet just like Earth hiding out undiscovered nearby.)

when you stop to think about how much actually goes into supporting human life, we're better off trying not to completely trash the planet we're on now than hope that we'll find a new one some day that can support human life just as well.

Re: do you think in the future

[diet_poison]

yes

Re: do you think in the future

[(Anonymous)]

We could, yes, but I don't see it happening in the immediate future except maybe as a brief, intentionally temporary experiment on Mars (with "immediate future" here meaning some time within the next 25 years). We're not going to have self-sustaining colonies on any panet in this solar system, at least not without magical terraforming. It's too expensive to try to have a permanent human presence out there just to say we can. Distant future generation ships to distant systems, sure, why not. We'll all be long, long dead, though.
