paperdyer Posted July 19, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I just wonder if we are going to Mars because we can or need to for even further exploration to other planets in the solar system. Of course the conspiracy people may say we are going because NASA found something they aren't telling us about. I don't know why some people think we need to be told of every little "happening". If we were told there would probably be more panicking than ever for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Greenman Posted July 19, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2016 We can't sit on this rock forever. We are explorers from the time we stepped out of Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdesert50 Posted July 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2016 We are going there because it is potentially habitable and could sustain an element of Earth's civilization. At some point in time, Earth will suffer a catastrophic event that will erase humanity from this planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
