Do you beleive in people going to Mars to live?

I know Musk is trying to make it happen, but do you really think it'll happen?

Do you think it's possible?
If it were cheaper, would you volunteer to live in mars?

I don't understand how that's gonna work.

Gotta ship everything from Earth?
My head is spinning

I don't think I'd volunteer. From Mars, earth will be a tiny spot of light in the sky. 9 months away, depending on orbit cycles.
Being that far away from home, and anything remotely normal, gives me the creeps.

There are obvious obstacles. That perhaps in time engineering will overcome.

But long before we colonize distant and hostile planets, there will be new and unforgiving lessons to be learned about the brutality of space.
Just as with Gemini 8. Challenger and Columbia; Soyuz 1, Apollo 1, and 13.

Thanks but no thanks, you can have my seat.
