To some extend I ask myself the purpose of continued efforts to find "habitable planets". As a proof of concept, it's been done–a couple of likely habitable planets have been found. But what then? Most of these planets are many light-years away, and having barely even started visiting our local system, what are the chances of ever going there? I'm not saying that it's completely impossible, but with current technology and rate of advancement, I'd be surprised if we even get to land anything in places like Europa and Io.

The point is that they are out there, so we might be able to get there one day.

Also: scientific advancement hinges on reproducing test results. We can't directly test the likelihood of our planet's development, so we have to do our best to take a census of the rest of everything.

There are two possible planets right next to us that can be made habitable you know. I don't know how old you are but myself I'm fairly young, hopefully I will live to see some amazing things

>Venus

>Habitable

Well if you're alright with blood boiling temperatures, and deadly gasses, I guess you'll do just fine there.

What all these SpaceX fanboys don't get is that Venus is just as much if not less of a pipedream than living on Mars permanently. They don't understand just what it would take to terraform either world.

>a place you cannot even live on the surface and temperatures are more extreme than mars.

I mean the only thing Venus has over mars is the Gravity is better for living full time.

Mars has only 20 Minutes more to a day than earth so plants grow fine, you can actually walk and live on the surface, it has water ice, and it's a lot easier to warm a planet than it is to cool it.

hold your hope my friend. It MIGHT be possible with in our time. Maybe. If we can generate fuck huge power levels.

Well I heard that the sun Naturally produces some small amounts of anitmatter and it may be possible to harvest some.

I also heard the conflict between Jupiter and Io produces some aswell.

If we were able to harvest this anti-matter we could create more energy then we could ever hope.

This is a retarded statement.

>you can actually walk and live on the surface

In a space suit.

>it has water ice

Mixed with insane concentrations of salt.

>and it's a lot easier to warm a planet than it is to cool it.

Not really.

Teraforming wouldn't occur for at least a few hundred years. We simply don't have the technology to deliberately shape worlds (it took about a hundred years just to dump enough CO2 into the atmosphere to affect earth)

Teraforming Mars is difficult because we are trying to bring life back to a dead rock.

Major problems are:

No magnetic field. Basically you and everything else is at the mercy of the suns rays. This contributes to the loss of atmosphere and cancer. There currently is no way to start up the molten core again.

Mars receives much less sunlight. Less sunlight = less energy for plants, solar cells, heat, etc.

Low atmosphere. This is obvious.

And lower gravity, we still don't know how this will effect humans over long periods, and fetus may not develop the same.
