I'd take a place as a colonist, even if I could never return to Earth. Mars is worth it
oh man look at those cavemen go [editline]06:07AM[/editline] it's the freakiest shoooow
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;23405635]Finally we'll find those Prothean skeletons. :dance:[/QUOTE] Not looking forward to a war with the Turians, though..
I want to go there sooo badly :haw:
I'm am going to scour the internet for a recruitment list for colonists.
Bets for how long this one will last? Its more resilient than Spirit and Opportunity and one of those is still rolling after 6 years. NASA builds the best probes.
Come on prothean ruins
[QUOTE=pointyface;23418025]Come on prothean ruins[/QUOTE] nah i think that would ruin them :rolleyes:
[QUOTE=1nfiniteseed;23417770]Not looking forward to a war with the Turians, though..[/QUOTE] Just work on your paragon points, we'll be fine. also count me in for colonizing this bitch.
It's pretty cool that this car sized robot runs on nuclear energy.
[QUOTE=Elexar;23401457]i hope they find protean technology.[/QUOTE] No, it'd be better if we created a future for ourselves rather than adopting another Lifeforms technology. [QUOTE=ironman17;23400751]Whilst the tunnel systems are important to explore, and they probably contain massive bacterial colonies/ancient alien ruins/a Shoggoth/all of the above, we should build a Moonbase before we start sending stuff to Mars. It's easier to send stuff from a Moonbase than from a large high-gravity high-atmosphere planet like ours, less fuel's needed.[/QUOTE] This, this, THIS
[QUOTE=Kade;23400295]Another rover :( We need something that can get down into the Martian cave systems - that's where all the methane has been detected, much deeper then the new rovers x-rays will penetrate. If there is still life on mars it's going to be very deep within these cave systems.[/QUOTE] Imagine watching a live feed, the rover is driving through a cave, it rounds an corner, and bam. Huge underground lake with little bugs flying around and huge ferns everywhere.
Didn't Obama want to end the Nasa program?
[QUOTE=cardboard_panda;23419382]Didn't Obama want to end the Nasa program?[/QUOTE] If you listen to Fox news' nonsense then yes. In the wonderful world of reality he removed George Bush's shitty plan for NASA and implanted one that's 400x better
Something tells me that this is going to be exactly like Motherload.

Will Obama's plan make colonization of the outer planets come sooner or later?
[QUOTE=STREWTH_99;23422795]Will Obama's plan make colonization of the outer planets come sooner or later?[/QUOTE] Sooner, but the asteroids come first. Once we start strip-mining the asteroids, we'll be swimming in CASHMONEY$$$. Buy stocks of Bigelow Aerospace and SpaceX.
Heck yes space exploration
Let's hope we don't wake up those demons.

[editline]06:48PM[/editline] It will be utterly incredible if we find microbial life. It will change so much.
I like to think that maybe WE came from Mars, but our ship crashed and the only people who survived were mentally retarded. It explains why we're stupid and why we can't remember the event
I hope they have a live feed of the rover when it's on Mars, it'd be so awesome to see the footage of the scans finding microbial life on Mars. :dance:

Mini bubble of safety in our cosmos.
I'll live on mars so long as I don't have to work in a mine.... But yeah, this is really amazing. I mean, for NASA to finally say yes to this. Pleaseee let the Mayan's be wrong!

I'm listening to the theme from Worms : Armageddon while reading this thread. For some reason, it makes the experience better.
