    The gravity surface is less on Mars than that of Earth which would cause muscles to atrophy quickly. Martians (for lack of a better word) would be weak and frail.

    They would be weak if they lived on Mars for an extended time and then came back to Earth. If we're talking colonists, it wouldn't be a problem if they stayed on Mars for their entire lives.

    Less gravity would mean I would weigh less on Mars....maybe I better get packing :)

    One day we will live on Mars, but it will because a business on Earth has figured out a way to make $$$$ off of the whole thing - then we can go mess up another planet - why stop at one if there are two in a solar system humans can trash?

    I don't want to live on Mars but I'm ready for the space cruise ship so I can ride around in my lounge chair and drink slurpees all day.

    No I would not go. I believe we should stay here and feed and clothe and provide clean water for ever person on Earth first before venturing out into new worlds. Lets take care of our own first.

    But wouldn't the technology developed in the process of achieving this goal help to reach your goals? For example, we need clean water but so will a spacecraft traveling to Mars. We need to be able to feed everyone, so will a spacecraft traveling to Mars, etc.

    I think I am following your logic here and if so, I agree with you. I believe that if this living on Mars goal is attained it will in fact help the quality of life for the people on earth as well. You may have to look beyond the initial getting to that point process to see all the good that could/would come from it.

    Well firstly,there is nothing wrong with EARTH.So when you say perfect "our" planet (lol),you really mean,focus on ways to make humanity survive longer.

    earth,the planet,will survive,with or without humans.Earth is already "perfect" in that sense.

    There is also a theory that meteors from mars containing microbes,may have kick started life on earth.Its all about discovery and understanding the environment with live in (that includes space),how someone can think that is not useful,is beyond me.

    and who wouldn't want to know if an asteroid was heading towards earth,that they are currently working on deflecting?Can't remember what the predicted impact date was,but I think it was some 20-30years time.

    to answer the original question,I wouldn't want to be in the first group of people to live on mars.Maybe third generation.

    Good answer! Until you got to the conspiracy theory... but seriously... there are a lot of mysteries to be solved and Mars is the answer to many of them. Why wouldn't we explore there more in depth?

    Stop hatin' on humankind people!

    Trees and grass are awesome! But there are things in space that you would never ever get the chance to see on earth. Beautiful things that just couldn't occur here.
