Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

| General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

I wonder if they will still have to pay taxes while on Mars? Heck, figuring on what a gallon of milk would cost you to buy while living there, imagine the windfall in sales taxes.
Seriously, does the technology exist to create a TOTALLY self sufficient colony on another planet? Indefinitely? I wouldn't want my life completely dependent on supply ships coming for the rest of my life.
And unless there is something on Mars that can be used for trade value for supplies, SOMEONE is going to have to subsidize this project for a LONG time.
However, I truly believe that humanity REALLY needs to get some of the eggs out of this single little basket we call Earth before the basket gets shaken up and all the eggs broken. So that first step just HAS to be taken.

Noelle, that's the funniest thing I've read all day, lol!!
Rich, as far as I know, we're still a long way off from making a sustainable colony anywhere. We still haven't figured out how to get people to Mars without them losing so much bone density in the process that they'd still be able to walk once they got there.

Apparently that is of little concern for the outfit taking the money for those applications..........
Maybe I should start up a swindle, er proposal, to create a colony on the rings of Saturn. Imagine the view! Only $29.95 (non-refundable) no matter who you are or where you live or whether or not this ever becomes a REALITY.

You guys should go play Kerbal Space Program. The game is hilarious and actually gives you a really good appreciation for how difficult space travel is! www.kerbalspaceprogram.com
You can watch a hilarious video of it here, narrated by the King of Sweden himself, Robbaz! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxgc-nt2410
