And do you think humans will ever actually walk on Mars ?
I do think that humans one day will colonise the moon but i don`t think it will happen in my life time. I don`t think humans will actually walk on Mars

I would be surprised. In terms of space exploration, our technology has advanced very slowly considering how many years ago we landed on the moon.

Someday...perhaps or perhaps not. One thing for sure is we WON'T have FTL-drive (such as 'Star Trek''s warp-drive or some other form by either the 23rd or 24th centuries).

'Star Trek' SHOULD'VE been placed five-hundred to a thousand years later (the 28th century or the 33rd century) to make it more plausible and feasible.

Martians are already busy building a giant wall between Earth and Mars.

Yes. Competition will provide an incentive although it may take several more decades to reach Mars. The US is lagging behind, but China, Russia, Japan and India are planning Moon bases in the coming years. Japan is currently looking at a potential site in a 31 mile long cave recently discovered on the Moon. India's second unmanned Moon landing will be this year. Current plans set the target date at 2030 for manned landings by China, Russia and Japan. China's Moon base target is around 2036. These are all stepping stones to Mars.

Martians are already busy building a giant wall between Earth and Mars. Don't know about a wall but they are watching every move we humans make. You don't know it but we are at their mercy. When and if they need anything from earth they will not ask. They will just take it. If we resist we will pay the price. A big price. So if (no when) it happens do not fight it. Whatever they want give it to them with a smile. It will be your only chance of survival.

I think I heard there's stuff in the moon that we could mine, but otherwise, all of the drawbacks seem to outweigh the benefits. It would require so much in the way of oxygen supplies, food, etc. Doesn't seem worth it.
I think they will probably send someone to Mars, but to stay there. Can't see how we can engineer a rocket that can land and then take off again and achieve escape velocity.

Someday? Yes.
Soon? Doubt it.

Not in our lifetime--Scientists still haven't figured out how to prevent the radiation/cancer problem as well as the vision problems affecting astronauts for long space flights

I think it'll be a lot later than people are predicting, hell it might be the 2050s before anyone gets to Mars. I must admit, I don't understand the push to go to Mars - I say let's built a Lunar outpost first.

If the human race doesn't blow itself to hell first. www.businessinsider.com/capetown-water-crisis-day-zero-looming-2018-1Cape Town SA gonna run out of water by May, when police & military start rationing. Why on earth would we spend trillions to live on the moon? Astronauts yes. Colonies? lols no. Mars too, they'll maybe get a population up to a few hundred by 2100, many of whom will be born on the planet to scientists, raised to be future scientists.

Maybe, but I doubt it. We're having a difficult enough time coping with life on our own home planet. I see no incentive for colonizing the moon. Mars is even more of a stretch, and the atmosphere is probably too wrong for us. My guess regarding space exploration is that it's going to be very different from the glory days of when humans were discovering "new worlds" (as in new continents) to "conquer" right here on earth.
Also, I just can't see any reason why we should want to set up colonies (call them what you will) on the moon, Mars or any other planet or satellite. Life is far from ideal on earth now. There's so much misery, disease. So much is wrong for so many people with just trying to stay alive and make ends meet in the here and now.
I'm not saying all this to be pessimistic; nor am I a negative person by nature. More like "first things first", There's so much poverty on our planet, so many people in need, too many,--my two cents perspective on things--that needs doing to make life satisfying for people in our time. It may some day be possible, even desirable for humans to (whether literally or figuratively) conquer new worlds, settle elsewhere than earth but we and our lot in life as a species strikes me as too problematical,--we're too imperfect--to even consider such a possibility today, in the 21st century.
A thousand years from now, who knows? I can't see colonizing other planets being seriously on the table any time soon.

And do you think humans will ever actually walk on Mars ? I do think that humans one day will colonise the moon but i don`t think it will happen in my life time. I don`t think humans will actually walk on Mars I do, I do, and I do. But as you say, not in our lifetimes. There's not enough money being put into it, and the powers that be don't see how they can MAKE money from it. So, not in our lifetimes.
Question though: Why would you believe we could colonize the moon but not Mars? The greater distance to Mars is the only drawback there. And not an unconquerable problem. Actually the surface of Mars is more welcoming than the moons, so colonizing Mars would be the better of the two.

The reason may be a boring one but its because of the distance.

It's too dangerous to colonize the moon; everyone knows it's inhabited by giant beavers!
