Boy, I sure hope we'll go to Mars and remake Mars as Earth II.  It's a question of both survival and economic growth.

The comparison to the settlement of America at the expense of the local primitive tribes doesn't apply, as there are no "Martian men" (by "men" I mean thinking animals).

As to what happened in the early US, you cannot lump together wholesale murder with the intensive exploitation of natural resources that were not exploited previously at all.

Personally, I will only continue to support the MS if it supports a ruthless colonization and terraformation of Mars.

Hi,

Are there other good forums on space exploration, and / or private space ventures?

Thanks,

Hi,

First post here.  I don't know how much computer storage they will have, but assuming that the answer is "an awful lot", there's plenty of things they could have then: books, movies, music, video games, educational material - they could learn new languages, learn about biology, physics, math, etc, and polish / maintain the skills they already have.

They would probably have to spend a couple hours a day or more exercising.

Finally, and I'm sure it's been addressed before, depending on the mix of crew, you could have some level of romantic life, especially if the crew is made of married couple.
