Colonizing Mars would be a death sentence to any person that goes there.

The human body evolved on this planet based on specific conditions. The most important of all being gravity.

Mars has 62% less gravity than on earth so the human body will decay much faster than on earth. Humans over time would evolve a totally different humanoid species or simply go extinct.


The movie Avatar is an example of what Hollywood gets right and wrong about space and other planets. The Navi evolved to have stronger bones and where much larger to compensate for the obvious weaker gravity on the planet. It’s also why the humans shouldn’t have been able to walk around, even with the oxygen masks on.


Until we learn to develop artificial gravity, colonizing should be off the table when it comes to other planets.

the closest planet to earths gravity btw is Venus which is not habitable.

Agreed Mars is not yet ready for colonization. Humans will likely have to change ourselves as much as we'd have to change the planet in order for colonization to work. As things stand now, we'll have to be content with planting a flag and returning alive.

so much easier to protect the planet we already have.

We're not meant to save the world. We're meant to leave it.

The hard hard truth... We will never leave our planet. Our body just can't handle it.

The next evolution of the human species in AI and synthetic life is the only viable option to space travel.
So there is no technology that can be invented to generate the same gravity as earth? To protect against the dangers of space? Really?

Of course. You think China or Russia would not weaponize space? But i am just confused why people make statements like the one i quoted knowing that for all of human history there have been people inventing technologies that made the "impossible" possible.

Not a Goldilocks planet for humans. They have to find a way to travel faster and further into space for that

people are unwilling to wear a mask during a global pandemic, it's over.:francis:

You're not sending the grocery store clerk to Mars. These are actual scientists and professionals in their field. :mjlol:

Bone and muscle decay is real. There's gonna be a lot of exercising on Mars, for whoever goes. GNC could bounce back just off the strength of those missions alone. :wow:
