The 10 year old in me thinks this is so awesome!

That is So. Cool.

:D :D :D

Why did I not go to astronaut school?

dude - seriously stoked - i totally wanna see people on mars in my lifetime!

Sweet! :)

Ditto to all of the above!

Can I move there now? I was just thinking last night that I'd like to walk on moon. (It was full and bright as could be.)

Unless it has oil, i'm not interested.

it's still MFing cold, and really far away . . .

but yeah - this is probably a good first step? But haven't you guys seen Total Recall? We're well on our way to 3rd boobies and fighting over air.

Well, whad'yaknow -- Dan Quayle was right after all.

dude i'm all about seeing 3rd boobies!

That does sound like the next logical step.

Don't get all snippy with me, guy - I saw it in a freaking movie, it has to be true. Obv.

I heard that they were going to use H2O molecules for fuel.

How does that work? Why can't do they that on Earth?

i think if people move to mars, we'll cause global warming on that planet too

Well, here it's much easier and safer to use fossil fuels. But our space shuttles are powered by liquid Hydrogen and Oxygen.

If you have water, you can split it into 'H's and 'O's and those burn like crazy.
On Mars there's no atmosphere so I don't think we could actually cause global warming. If anything we'd cause the creation of an atmosphere...

There is an atmosphere, it's mostly CO2. However, the temperature extremes would be the biggest problem for sustaining life.
