From XKCD:
> The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.

I am to4str. Space exploration will never be a viable option, because the speed of light cannot be exceeded and it will never be economically feasible to explore star-systems which will take hundreds - if not thousands - of years to reach.

That's gross as fuck. However, I do support of bringing Mars back to life. I was watching the science channel and it would definitely be possible. One of the few things keeping us back is the saltiness of the land. Luckily, they have found small organisms able to survive in those conditions, thus making a start of life back on Mars.

Also the lack of a magnetic field and resulting incredi-thin atmosphere.

Oh, I forgot to mention that part. That same show I was watching said shit about intentionally polluting the atmosphere to create a thicker ozone layer. I forgot a lot of the details now, but meh. Maybe someday shit will happen.

Technical issues aside, the real hangup is that the scientific community wants to "preserve" Mars in it's current "non-contaminated" state so that if they discover life they can have a big jerk off and jizz all over the faces of anyone who ever doubted them.
