I think that the sort of people who'd actually want to go to Mars as colonists would be those who didn't fit in on Earth--religious and political outliers in particular. Whether such people would be able to establish a functioning and eventually self-supporting society is an open question (although there are examples on Earth; think Utah, whose original settlers were pretty, um, eccentric by nineteenth-century standards, or modern ones) even if their basic survival needs could be met.

From an occupational medicine point of view, colonising Mars makes very little sense. The gravity levels are so low that it would be very damaging to our bones (not to mention muscles, cardiovascular system, etc). Add the travel time to the red planet and this is compounded. Finally, coming back would be quite risky after the time spent on the planet plus the return trip.

[@martiancolonist]

Sure, I signed up for Mars One's Astronaut Training Programme. My background is in Astrophysics, and the primary motivator for me is the incredible inspirational potential a human Mars mission holds for encouraging young people around the world to pursue STEM study and careers. Ultimately, the generation that is inspired by the Mars missions will go on to solve the greatest problems facing us in the 21st century.

[@ufodeath]

@Mycel I agree with Mycel. By going to Mars as a colonizer, you would be trading in the Earth and all its natural wonder to forever live in a box on a barren uninhabitable world. Even with people around, it would feel very similar to life in prison, where Mars is the menacing red prison guard.

[@brianfoss571]

@Mycel makes some great points. I'd add that the moon landings were inspirational because they happened relatively quickly and were the culmination of a geopolitical arms race in very turbulent times. Apollo 11 was literally racing the Soviet Luna 15 mission (launched 3 days prior) to be the first lunar sample return mission. But because it crashed and Apollo 11 didn't, most people forgot the Soviet attempt even happened. And since the Apollo missions occurred over a week or two, most people could devote attention to follow mission progress as they happened. Plus, since the Earth-Moon communication delay is only a few seconds, it's possible to watch a live broadcast in near real-time. And amateur astronomers could see the Apollo spacecraft transit the Moon through their telescopes. None of these factors for inspiration are likely to apply on Mars. The buildup to a human Mars mission will happen slowly, over decades instead of years, and when the first astronauts arrive at Mars, we'll be watching the event several minutes after it actually happened. And Mars might not be visible in the night sky that day. Think about how low public engagement with the ISS is. It's a continuous, steady program that more or less runs like clockwork. No race is involved. Everyday life and national security does not hinge on a specific launch. And yet because it's so close to Earth, views from the Cupola ARE inspiring in IMAX documentaries. And people can easily see the station streak above the sky if they know when and where to look. School groups can even apply to ask astronauts live questions about living in space! And that doesn't get covered widely. Well, because a Mars-bound vehicle travels so far from Earth, none of those outreach opportunities apply anymore. Earth becomes a blue speck in the window, and outreach with classrooms can't be live discussions. Questions must be delivered to the vehicle in advance as a video file and the astronauts' responses filmed and sent back to Earth in a separate package. And daily flyovers of Earth are obviously gone. So, no. We're not sending people to Mars because it's "inspirational." We're doing it to push the limits of human endurance and psychology. It's not going to be a 10-day joyride to the Moon and back. Space tourism flights will provide that inspiration. We're going to go to Mars for the same reason we have the ISS. To unite the world's superpowers in a common effort to expand a human presence in space, to gain new knowledge about surviving in extreme environments, and taking that knowledge and "overview" perspective to solve problems on Earth. That's what long-duration human spaceflight is really about. Pushing human survival in space to practical limits and sharing the costs with interested partners. It's not about micro-G research, planetary science, or astronomy. All of that can be done without sending people. These activities are done to give astronauts a greater variety of tasks than maintenance and checking their vitals. But keeping the ship running and the crew healthy provides the technology and human performance research that makes life better on Earth. And until the politics of human spaceflight reverts to another space race, a human Mars mission will have much more in common with ISS than Apollo in terms of inspirational impact. Again, if your goal is to inspire, there are much cheaper ways of doing it. "The Martian" cost 0.1% of the cost of real human Mars missions to make. And it's a more interesting plot than reality might allow for. If you just want pretty pictures of space, probes and telescopes provide that without people. Still a fraction of the cost of sending people but very inspiring. So you only send people to space to do only the things people can do: Maintain and improve life support technology, do research on their bodies, and do experiments that can't be automated. And occasionally tell kids and curious adults what it's like to live in space.

Interesting! There are a few comments I'd add: 1. The reason why people are interested in Mars is because it's relatively close to the Earth, but the moons of Jupiter are waaaay more interesting, and there's a better chance of finding life in some of them. 2. Exploring Mars with manned missions would be more like a sport in the sense of stretching the engineering limits and breaking records. However, robots can do a much better work from the scientific point of view. Don't forget that behind each robot, like Curiosity there isn't just one scientist, but a full team of them. 3. From the point of view of survivability, it's important to reinstate "the mission to planet Earth." In any foreseeable future, it will be our only option, and we must take care of our home, which by the way, is more hospitable than any other place in the Solar System. 4. If we want to pursue exploration of deep space, beyond Mars, either with robots or with manned missions, we need to develop new propulsion systems which can let us travel at much higher speeds.

I would take a one way ticket if it meant we could establish a base. Once the base is up, the risk would be minimalised but obviously the first people sent there would be qualified for some aspect of the mission. Non-qualified volunteers may be important in terms of just having additional man-power on hand.

I think people that don't literally have anything to lose except their education will go to Mars. I mean, think about it. When you have built something that you hold most dear, like a family or a business on Earth, it would be mentally impossible to give them up just so that you can explore another planet. If we go to Mars right now, I'd sign up without a second thought. But in 10 years or so, I won't even think about it. Having said that, I love science and space.

[@TheSwiftMagician]

I would go to “colonize” Mars… BUT only if large-scale, multi-site, colonization was planned. AND if colonists could come back to earth, to visit or to stay… Like if Mars just became another place to visit or move to, like Australia or Brazil. But Mars is so inhospitable, it would probably be better to try to “terraform” it. That, in and of itself, may take centuries, if it’s possible at all.

No. A lifestraw doesn't "work on pee". Urine has a lot of salt and ammonia in it, both of which are difficult to remove from water.

[@engineeruk8667]

To answer the question about going to Mars, the simple answer would be No. As amazing as Mars is, being a human being, something that has developed over thousands of years on eath - it would be incredibly diffiflcult to live there. And simply because you would essentially have to live in a suit and there is no physical contact between the elements. Would I visit knowing that there is genuinely a way of getting back despite the risks? Yes. Because I know there is at least a good chance of getting back home.

Europeans colonized the Americas even when there was a good chance of dying on the trip. Many colonies failed. I wouldn't want to go, but for those willing to take the risk I say "Make it so" Besides, for all those claiming that we should focus on exploring first, the excitement of manned missions makes it easier to get the funding to develop the technology to get out there and do the exploring. If it weren't for the excitement generated by the idea of manned missions and colonisation, we would probably be 2 decades behind our current space technology capabilities

I would go on a one way ticket. I have spent my life and career solving difficult problems. Design problems, people problems, technical problems etc. Surviving on Mars would be the ultimate puzzle and problem to solve. For someone who thrives on solving problems, this would be a deal of a lifetime. All of the problems I have had to manage and overcome here on earth have been the result of other people. Mars is a lonely place. The feeling of entrapment is in the mind and self generated. One can choose to be lonely or not to be. Mars is a mission meant for people who work best alone and isolated. I don’t need the drama and the chaos that society create. Just image, an entire world to yourself with nobody to bother you. Do science while listening to whatever music you want. Figure out how to grow your seedlings. Explore places that nobody has ever seen. Fix broken things like your life depends on it because it does. Be mindful and comfortable with your mortality. I would eventually die out there and it probably would happen sooner than one would wish for. An inevitable end we all share anyway. Might as well be a legend of humanity. There is only so many walks in the woods and cups of cappuccino you can drink. I am bored so send me to Mars with the impossible task of surviving. I promise to make everyone proud. I am comfortable with the idea of dying so long as I know I tried my best.
