Martian spaceforce

Will mention [1]. To the casual observer with popular-science-level book and TV program knowledge 'some sort of sand dune type phenomenon' is the obvious first-glance explanation. Anna Livia (talk) 10:13, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Tardigrades

There is 'a current story' about tardigrades being sent to the moon (and the possibility of them surviving to be retrieved).

Given that Mars has an atmosphere and water 'in some places' would the beasties be able to survive there - or would they have to wait for these to become established? Anna Livia (talk) 16:44, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

"Subjugating the planet" problems

In my opinion, this section should be removed.It discourages space exploration, even though right now there are serious plans by NASA and Spacex. I know that Mars One was a scam, but there are realistic, serious plans to create space colonies. I also know there are important problems on doing it (you can watch this Kurzsgesagt video for more information [[2]]) but we can lern to adress them. We can't discourage an idea because of the existing problems. We land on the moon, even thought it seemed imposible ten years before.And i think we can put a human on the red planet.
To conclude, i think another page should be created on space exploration, that adresses the pros and cons of it. We can replace the current article with another called "mars exploration", that explains previous missions, and future plans, without treating mars colonisation as science woo. Leave your opinion.^{— Unsigned, by: Ep0605 / talk / contribs}

I think space colonization should wait until humanity gets its collective shit together. ☭Comrade GC☭^{Ministry of Praise} 01:07, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

We will know that colonisation of Mars is potentially practical when 'Friends of Mars', 'Save the pristine Martian wilderness' and similar bodies get set up. Anna Livia (talk) 19:01, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

NASA, the Martian cover-up

This - develop to taste. Anna Livia (talk) 19:01, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Mars attacks

Given this and other people, should there be a 'Friends of Mars' group set up? Anna Livia (talk) 18:55, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
