2032 - Manned mission to Mars
2048 (if TRS succeeds) - First city built and automated on Mars with immigrants arriving
2054 - First colonies appear on Mars
2070 - Mars population reaches 100,000
2080 - Moves for terraformation of Mars
2140 - Martian mean temperature at 0'CC
2250 - At least 500 millibar atmosphere, oceans and seas, many grass, algae and lichen species
2350 - Forests, insects and CO2 tolerant animals proliferate through the environment
2450 - Mars has largely oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere and has a rich ecosystem with a population in excess of 500,000,000 beings (biological/transhumanist)

By "city" he probably means like a greenhouse colony or something. Which is extremely plausible within 12 years.

>> No.2814247

>>2813804
I think this timeline is completely realistic, considering an exponential growth rate of technology by 2048 they should have contruction robots that could remotely build a city on mars, or we'll all be dead by then.

2025 - First manned Mars mission, SpaceX/Bigelow Aerospace/you know the drill
2035 - First settlement (Seven people) on Mars, abandoned after two years due to lolbudget. A year later it had been ravaged by dust storms.
2054 - With the invention of the first mechanosynthetic assemblers, the Open Space Movement begins manufacturing a set of rockets for Lunar and Martian exploration, the open-source equivalent in the space community
2060 - First permanent, small scale settlement on Mars by the OSM, 20 people
2065 - With the construction of the L1 Statite habitat, christened 'Star City' after the training grounds of soviet cosmonauts, several missions carrying colonists embark towards Mars
2068 - With the failure of the OSM's lunar colonies (Due to lack of carbon and radioactive isotopes) Mars becomes the primary target for exploration. The Moon is pretty much abandoned except as a test-ground and for automated robots to build shit.
2070 - First diamondoid domes on Mars
2080/2110 - Luddite movements back on Earth cause most major phyles (It's a Diamond Age reference) to return to neolithic-level lives, while keeping molecular assemblers because people are hypocrites. Most of the smart people have moved to space at this point, with Mars and the Moon and Star City being primary destinations. In the last decade of the 21st century, Von Neumann machines (NOT NANO, MACRO) are sent off to build terraforming facilities.

Are you fucking kidding me?

The first Mars mission will have to be a global effort with funding from all the space agencies in the world, governments of all major powers, and maybe with some help from the private sector.

You underestimate how much a manned Mars mission would cost. It will NOT be a solo attempt, it will be global. Stop being nationalistic as fuck and start learning to work together.
