Scientists and NASA want to terraform Mars. Looks like were not so far from the events happening in the ME universe.
Terraforming planets like in ME is just around the corner.

So, that means it's only a matter of time before we find the Charon relay?

We're far far away from terraforming Mars in any significant way.

By close I mean 100 to a thousand years. If you look at the big picture that's not a long time away.

Yes, but I wouldn't really consider 100 to a thousand years just around the corner personally.gmartin40 wrote...

There was a show about this recently on the Science channel about terraforming Mars and how it could be done. It was pretty indepth, and at the most they said we could start to see the effects of terraforming in within a hundred to a couple hundred years.

This one believes that Earth will become similar to Rakhana or Tuchanka before we are ever given the chance.

Yes it is by the way things are going humanity won't be around in 100 - 1000 years. We're just smart enough to wipe ourselves out.

Ah yes, Terra forming. We have dismissed this as our civilisations will be dead and buried before that even gets off the ground, so to speak.

I'm not even going to think how many countries will try to claim ownership of the Moon or Mars.

It won't be terraformed when we discover the Charon Relay, that is if NASA gets off of its lazy ass to build an appropriate warship, and it needs to be armed, just for when we make first contact with the Turians.

The Earth was made over a billion years ago. Dinosaurs lived 65 million years ago. Terraforming can become a reality within 100 to 1000 years. No **** it isn't around the corner personally, you'll be dead before terraforming happens.
My god some people are shallow on here.

Nice and all but it'll take a long time to get there!
With our current tech lol i bet it'll take somewhere around 1000 years.
Ya'll think it's easy to fly in space? You can't turn over so easely! there is no friction so to be able to turn you need burst engienes at the side of the ship.
And even if you turn you need equal and exact power to stop you from keep turning, unless you like to be in a carousel

Since NASA can't send a man to the Moon in the near future again for economical reasons I'd say that any terraforming plans are just a feverish dream for now. But who knows what the future may hold...

we have the scientific knowledge but lack the political willpower and the economic backing.
as a side note, has any one seen red planet with val kilmer and carie-ann moss? methinks that something akin to their situation for earth will occur in the near future.

Yeah, the current president basicly canceling our moon missions kind of screws us for the foreseeable future. So...it's up to India, China, Russia and Japan to lead space exploration for awhile...yeah...whoopee...
If you want an excellent trilogy on a hypothetical terraforming of Mars, I strongly reccomend Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars books. It covers alot of possible political and financial scenerios associated with the exploration and business side of such a task. A great series if any of you have the time.
Until our politicians put their career ambitions aside, we're screwed. Humanity needs to buck up and get serious.

Yes, indeed.
The scientist Aubrey de Gray believes that the first human being that will live to a 1000 years old is alive today:
http://en.wikipedia..../Aubrey_de_Grey
http://www.methuselahfoundation.org/
Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Universe is 14 to 20 billion years
****** Sapiens been here for 1.5 to to 2 million years
So 100 to a 1000 years is pretty much 'round the corner', IMO
