The article at BBC website said them rocket planes will be flying at an altitude of 1500 metres, or 5000 feets, above the ground. It got me wondering how that is helping making private spaceships but then I figured if they can make their rockets work long enought to win the race flying level, those motors will also work long enough going straight up

Kind of scary, if it is what it looks like. Imagine what terrible weapons could be constructed in far away future (if humanity is able to produce enough energy). It could be real destroyer of worlds.
Maybe nobody should think that it could be never done, lots of things have been done. I'm not negative by character, I respect scientists doing their work.. its just human nature I'm scared of.

I too think it's feasible to make humans live at Mars, it just takes time and hard work at the beginning. May not be very comfortable & luxurious life for the 1-2 generations but if they don't mind it then it is ok.
I think it is obvious that there will be sufficient amount of people who want to live there no matter how hard it is.
Rxke I'm not the same from ES boards

Hi all
I read an interesting article some weeks ago about 2 scientists arguing it is not reasonable to colonize Mars, and I can't find it anymore. It could have been space.com or marsnews.com or thespacereview.com. If only could I find the link so that you could read it. It would probably be nothing new to this forum (which is a great forum indeed and I enjoy reading it) but it made me think about it.
If I remember correctly there were 2 scientists who argued that while small Mars bases could exist, large scale colonization would be too cumbersome to ever work. As much as I would like to see Mars colonized, what do you all think about this?
