jazzy_dave | Life On Mars? (Reply)

As awesome as life on Mars could be I believe mostly self sustainable space stations would be a far more useful. These space stations could do research or even be massive production plants probably for various types of energy. Mars trips are cool for smaller space shuttles but the cost seems far too great to really colonize the planet effectively. What do you think of the idea of colonizing Mars?

Just one major problem with Mars , apart from others, is that it doesn't have enough nitrogen. Colonists there would develop severe protein deficiency and die. Titan may be a safer bet, except for it being even further away. Discuss.
