Getting there isn't there isn't the problem. Staying there is. The basis of my point is the moon mission. We went there too soon back then, and we haven't gone back since. The moon mission should have happened during the shuttle era. The mars mission shouldn't happen until the fusion era.
Spoken like someone who has zero understanding of historical context.
Why don't you read a newspaper article or two from the 1960s about space travel before you throw history into the scapeheap in your theory crafting.
So we've been back to the moon since Apollo? I must have missed that. <_<

The big deal is enormous one hundred mile per hour dust storms that last for weeks. The big deal is radiation shielding. The big deal is daily 100 ℉ temperature swings. The big deal is surviving in a hostile environment when everything goes wrong. And it will. That's not cynicism that's just common sense.
Tell you what. Here's a link to their own website about Martian weather. If you don't think they are downplaying this issue, then I've a bridge to sell you. Solar panels are fine for robots. Robots can turn off then back on again when the sun comes out. We cannot. Month long dust storms are going to be very serious, ongoing, regular, and inevitable issues, that will require a power source that will function in spite of them.
LOL wooow... I respect you're opinion, as silly as most of it is and had hardly anything to do with what I just said, and I don't mean to offend you but, you're a f**king idiot who doesn't need to be involved in this sort of thing! And believe me, I now the risks involved with this... so did Columbus in 1492 that went into the unknown in search of land, along with all the other explorers in human history. If it was such suicide mission to even go to Mars, know one would even be attemping to do it. Go and live you're own life while the true explorers and believers with the can-do attitude make history forever to be remembered!
LOL Miauw... I don't respect you're an opion.
Even if the ships of Columbus were sunk and he had nothing but an small boat, he could get his food from the sea and could survive few days until he reaches a coast.
If something goes wrong on Mars for example air and food supply no one can survive without a doubt. And the space travel to Mars can be more dangerous if something happens to the space transporter. Have ever read/seen stuff about a spaceship that gets a hole in its fuselage?

I want to forget about the power problem. I really do. In fact, I am hoping for the best. But I expect the worst. If you can't tell, space exploration has been an interest of mine for a very long time. I went to space camp when I was a kid and everything. A successful Mars colony in my lifetime would be a dream come true. My instincts tell me that Mars One is not that colony.
I'm not opposed to a private venture. I just don't think this one is or could be with no amount of funding, equipped or competent enough to do it. Google on the other hand seems to be moving in just the right direction, whether they mean to or not.
Well good! As topic creator, I'm starting to get annoyed with all you're whining, all you're bi*ching and all you're arguement starting comments.

Woah, Kemosabe. Being topic creator does not mean you get to dictate the flow of conversation, nor be overly aggressive to posters. Let's all try and keep civil... this is how space madness starts.

but as aggressive as it was, I was never angry... I was just saying that I was annoyed with it.

I think the biggest challenge will be human... you have cameras on them 24/7 and they're locked up in tiny pods with only a handful (or just 1, for the first two years!) of other humans around? Space madness is right. And they're just accepting volunteers? I think people would need some serious, possibly lifelong training for this kind of ordeal.

And you missed having a global perspective on history. Saber rattling put us on the moon when it should have been curiosity. We were not ready to make moon landing. Just like the Vikings going to the Americas, the Chinese before them, and possibly the Egyptians before them. It wasn't until Columbus, that a useful connection could be made.
Apollo moved technology forward, unmistakably. But it did not give us the moon.
