Feraz:"That extra wiggle room should let the space agency cope with scheduling and funding issues as they crop up in the future, NASA officials said in a teleconference with reporters" http://m.space.com/26964-nasa-mega-rocket-2018-sls-test-launch.html |

davien:No boss. I am not talking about landing the human race on Mars. Heck, if they can send curiousity to Mars, then it is not far fetched to think that the technology to send man to Mars is close (I have even checked up on the technology - another type of Jet engine called scramjet that is being developed to take someone to another part of the world in about 1 hour say from Japan to London). I actually meant the technology for terraforming - that is what I meant that it is not yet feasible. Thanks for the link. |

Feraz:Actually it is feasible and a lot of ideas are on the ground on how.....The problem again is willingness, cooperation, funding and time... And terra-forming doesn't mean we'd make it 100% earth-like...we could start with delivering and diverting asteroids with water-ice to seed oceans and then start manipulating minerals that capture CO2(the oceans also will help in carbon sinking)...a lot is needed to be done....and it's very feasible...The problem is we think that a project should be considered "feasible" if it is done within our lifetimes and suiting our every desires and so if no funding is within it, then it's not feasible. 1 Like |

davien:How will that happen? How do you divert something that big to land on a planet or create a mirror (about three) the size of Asia (if not bigger) to heat the surface of the Martian planet? |
Re: Humans Have Less Than 200yrs To Survive On Earth--- Stephen Hawking by davien(m): 7:19pm On Mar 08, 2015 |
Feraz:First off small bodies like asteroids are easily moved by ligh beams(in space),and once directed towards the planet, the will of the planet pulls it into itself....that's all and I have no idea what you mean by mirror... |
Re: Humans Have Less Than 200yrs To Survive On Earth--- Stephen Hawking by Feraz(m): 7:24pm On Mar 08, 2015 |
davien:Omoshiro i (Japanese way of saying interesting)!!! The mirror is another way of terraforming. It is supposed to release the 'green gases' on the planet to aid the development of life forms faster. |

Feraz:Nice,I had no idea...I thought all that was needed is a controlled global warming scenario.. |
Re: Humans Have Less Than 200yrs To Survive On Earth--- Stephen Hawking by Feraz(m): 7:57pm On Mar 08, 2015 |
davien:yeah. . . it somewhat works by reflecting the sun rays directly on Mars. There are about three ways of terraforming the last I checked. |

I will say it again and again the issue of teraforming is not in the plan of nasa or any mainstream scientific organization. It is just a mental projection of what can be done. The only solution is to look elsewhere and that is what nasa doing. |

Blakjewelry:you underestimate the sheer power of the human mind. We can singlehandedly reverse the destruction of the very universe if given enough time to understand it. We can invent spatial-temporal relocation. There is no limit to our ability to survive. Unless we wipe OURSELVES out. And even that, is highly unlikely. |

I doubt

Teempakguy:First off we cannot colonize the whole universe even if can achieve warp drive, even the observable universe is far too big. Secondly the universe itself is heading for self destruction. Thirdly man can actually cause his own demise, if you doubt read up the crazy experiments conducted during the second world War. Man has the capacity to self distruct |
