Why aren't you faggots talking about this?

>“We will send humans to Mars in 2023,” he told FoxNews.com. “They will live there the rest of their lives. There will be a habitat waiting for them, and we’ll start sending four people every two years.”

>The habitat will consist of several housing structures that Mars One will launch before 2023. In 2016, the company plans to launch the first supply vessel. In 2018, it plans to send a rover.

>Lansdorp says his four-person company will coordinate the launches, but it will work with suppliers for the ship and rockets. For example, Mars One might use the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, which is currently being developed as a launch system for larger spacecraft.

It will be a short and miserable life for the colonists. If they don't all die of horrible unforeseen health complications a few months after arrival, they'll probably go insane and kill each other.

>herr derr, I think humanity is a big piece of shit, but at the same time I think they are so amazing that they are actually capable of ruining a planet with more landmass than planet earth, and no vegetation or breathable atmosphere.

I hate people that bring up this argument. Mars can't be fucked up because it's already fucked up compared to Earth. Us making a sustainable environment in a small area on the planet would be groundbreaking. It wouldn't be a one time thing, we would have to upkeep that small area constantly. The chances of actually terraforming the entire planet/ "ruining it" as you say, are next to nothing.
