What nation will land humans on mars first? Seeing how America doesn't seem serious about it, I'll say China round 2036???

It will be a group effort
wasting that kind of money would mean skimming from scores of nations so people don't go nuts about the waste of a one way trip
I know it's part of our instinct to want to explore and lots of people say "why did we go to the moon?... Not so we could look for valuable resources or for intelligent life or even to find clues that may help us to piece together Earth's origin... But just to say we did it as part of a mostly polotical game with the soviet union." We have already been to Mars a couple times. There is no evidence that life ever existed there, there are virtually no resources that we can use from that planet, and our technology is not advanced enough to make it a reasonably timely trip. Maybe a trip to Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons, one day where we at least know there is water would be of more use. As far as Mars goes I would agree with you that America at the moment lacks the ability to pass simple legislature let alone have a push towards a human mission to the Red Planet.
Hey if technology evolves to allow us to travel much much faster from the desire to explore Mars then of course that would be wonderful. I tend to focus on stressing the importance of finding actual signs of life... Of which on Mars there has been none. Tell me how resources on Mars would pay for the bills? Only asking out of curiosity/to learn.I know it's part of our instinct to want to explore and lots of people say "why did we go to the moon?...

By trying is how we get the technology in order to climb this mountain. Not one thing has been done by sitting on ones ass and saying we can't. So you really believe there's no resources on mars? lol. There's enough water on mars to cover the entire surface in 36 feet of water. The resources of our solar system alone could pay for all of our exploration if we do it right. It is the I CAN'T attitude that holds us down.
Of course we will have to beat the attitude to get the ball rolling.
It will never happen in America so long as Democrats think NASA was created to prove that anthropogenic global warming is true.What nation will land humans on mars first? Seeing how America doesn't seem serious about it, I'll say China round 2036???
Ummmm ok so are you trying to throw in a climate tangent to debate about something you think you're more well versed in or do you actually think that the majority of democrats think NASA was formed for that reason? If you've ever read Carl Sagan or Neil Degrasse Tyson they consistently and blatantly called the Republican party as the "Anti-Science party," and from reading carl sagan books myself it appears his reasons for supporting NASA are based in searching for understanding what we don't know about the cosmos by just looking through a telescope, to enlighten those who are trapped in their box of theology without questioning, to search for intelligent life. I haven't met any Dems who feel the way you have expressed, and please don't tell me you don't "believe" in climate change or just use semantics to support right wing thought processes that deny evolution or obvious laws of natureIt will never happen in America so long as Democrats think NASA was created to prove that anthropogenic global warming is true.What nation will land humans on mars first?
