Mars is really just a distraction at the moment in terms of anything other than research purposes. Its the moon that we should focus on colonizing for now.

Venus is really the only thing we should be thinking about fully terraforming, and that's a long term project that nobody alive when it starts will live to see the end result.

Mars would make a good pit-stop to and from Earth to the asteroid belt and the moons of Jupiter and beyond.

Bill Nye is a sketch comedian who once worked at Boeing for a short period of time. His engineering degree is obsolete as he doesn't have a career in engineering to go with it.

Oh no not the asteroid meme

Look no one is going to live on the irradiated surface of Mars.
It will be like this
https://youtu.be/56LqjD_XAvo
Only in this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2
So deep underground habitats you are protected from radiation and other problems by shit loads of sand and rock.
So basically this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder
Only on real planets with no need for artificial gravity, and we know how to build these structures because its basically like we build buildings on earth today.

>Mars doesn`t really have resources as
Only it has more resources then any asteroid. It has iron insane amounts of iron and basically the same resources like earth.

No one is going to ship back them to earth because its a waste of time and stupid you use the resources of Mars to build things on Mars.

You use the resources to construct more habitats.

Asteroids are shit made out of silicon (dirt/sand) and water while mars is a planet that has real resources like iron used for construction and other metals.
Find me asteroids with the same iron composition like Mars.

>space factories are also a huge benefit
Are complete shit did you ever try to build something in the minimal gravity they have?

Things will fall away into space itself while on Mars you have really good gravity to hold things from simply breaking off into space.

This is another benefit of Mars it has gravity, good gravity.

Look you try to actually build something in minimal or zero g.
And by build I mean build a building not having a self contained box from earth that builds things inside of itself
Try extracting anything from an asteroid in zero g.

You understand that the material will fly away into space if you are not absolutely anal about forces?

You actually try landing something on an asteroid.
Contrast all of this with a planet like Mars and you see all the difference.

Oh and remember you are not allowed to fly from one asteroid to another. Because this costs fuel and this is space fuel and can not be replaced and oh look how fantastically expensive this gets.

On planets we can use the same mining technologies we use on earth and can use cars to travel to different places(electric motor VS throwing away reaction mass to travel in space) with iron ore.

The minimum for habitations should be anything moon sized with planets sized the optimum.

It's not that hard if you have a super-heavy launcher. Don't know if he will be able to do it with his company, but the american and chinese government for sure can if they want to. If something like the Saturn 5 graces this earth again, you would need 5-7 launches to make one Earth surface - Mars surface - Earth surface transfer possible. So with the cost of the Apollo programm you could have 2-3 landings on Mars.

Never is a long time. It's a pretty ignorant statement to make a claim like that when human technology could advance 10^10^10^10 times within the next 200,000 years, and who knows beyond that, and Mars is still going to be there, in fact it's extremely close.

I don't think there's any advantage now, but if we could terraform Mars, it'd be worth it. Who made Bill Nye the fucking arbiter of anything? He's a retard, his new show is garbage, and he's unscientific.

Two Saturn V launches could give you a round trip to Mars. One to put the astronauts up there, the other to put the fuel and do the transfer and return trip. You'd need a much larger lander, the LEM wouldn't cut it, and your astronauts would be sitting in a tin can for a while.

Honestly the Saturn V alone could probably do a trip to mars (not return trip). In Apollo they reached earth's escape velocity with one of the stages.

Asteroids do have a six-times higher concentration of plantinum and other metals. That's because most precious metals are within the earthcore and not in the crust. Extracting the core is also far easier than on a planet or a moon.
Because the lack of gravity, asteroid mining will look fully different than on earth. The machines have to claw themselves when tunneling a a mine shaft.
Dust-mining will be probably the technique that will be used on asteroids.
It's not a "either that or that", everything that can be mined will be mined. Even Gas Planets.

If two can do the round trip, 5 should be enough to land and return. One to put the astronauts into Mars orbit, one to put a lander into Mars orbit, one to put an ascent stage on the surface, one to put a habitat there, and one to put a return stage into Mars orbit. Astronauts rendez vous with lander in Mars orbit, land there, live in the already landed habitat and then ascent with the already landed ascent stage, and then rendez vous with the return vehicle.

You don't need that much fuel. You could probably do a Mars Flyby in a single Saturn V.

Two Saturn V's could easily do the entire Mars trip, minus the habitat (We have no use for a habitat on Mars. It's a completely worthless prospect because we don't have the technology to effectively colonize it).

The Saturn V was a massive rocket and it was designed to be built upon and go further and further. Had the next step after the Moon been Mars, we would have been there in the 70's. We instead decided to focus on making space flight cheaper (and failed miserably), but also to study weightlessness, which honestly is more scientifically valuable than the prestige of landing a man on mars.

The moon is the best place to build certain types of infrastructure on. Launching stuff from the Moon is a lot easier than launching from Earth. The moon should have a shipyard built on it.

Or what if we just build our shipyards in space like any reasonable person would.

That structure would still need to be 100000x taller than anything humans have ever built. You'd have to deal with atmospheric drag as the buildings gets taller and taller. You'd need to somehow deal with the weight of such a structure. I doubt we have any material that could support that.

For one, it's not a "structure", it's a suspended wire in effect. Building a tether out to GEO is definitely in the realm of fantasy right now, but building one out to LEO is entirely possible.

>Not only that, in order for that to work you'd still need to build a massive fucking ring in space, which would be so insanely expensive it's not even worth talking about.
Not really, no. Maybe for current space budgets, but when compared to the sheer return on investment you could make, it's entirely feasible.

Yea here is where you are wrong. To make a spacecraft move you seriously need some expensive fuel, fuel that you will not get back from sunlight etc.

So jumping from one asteroid to another can be more expensive in fuel then anything you get back from it.

You simply ignore this insane problem and never speak about it.

Contrast this with Mars where you can use spinning wheels on electric motors to move.

You could just tunnel or claw into a asteroid and mine it that way or just grind it all into dust and take the parts you want from it.
It's also far more easier to move away from a asteroid than to escap the gravital hold of a planet.
