I am sure space exploration will get us to Mars soon and I also believe we are close to be able to make the ability to have sustainable life there. Probably for quite a small colony though and at great expense. If we find minerals that are worth mining then things could change. Money is a great motivator which is why we didn't go back to the moon. There is nothing there of financial worth.
Beyond Mars is currently a dream unless we concur the ability to travel large distances. Cryostate sounds like a fantasy but perhaps the only answer.
Great post. Upvoted.
Mars has been space industry's project for years and with the hope that getting human on mars means endless possibilities. Travelling to mars is still being hoped for. It might be possible that private firms will send humans to mars before NASA.
I hope I get to see that in my life time.
How can we protect anyone from space radiation during this journey @awah?
i don't think it's yet possible.
