Are you willing to leave Earth and settle on another planet?

Many people say that the world is already too crowded and in a few decades the problem will become even more dramatic,so people will eventually have to look for new territories to colonize,and most likely some of them will settle to Mars.If such a possibilty becomes reality one day,will you be among those pioneers who will leave the Earth and start a new adventure on Mars?

I'll be perfectly honest with you. While this does sound to be intriguing, it is really not something I would be too down for. The world is not going to be here forever, but I think that it might just survive without too many problems for the rest of my lifetime. Plus, I don't like to fly as it is. Therefore, space travel is something that I would want to to. It does intrigue me on a certain level. It is something to think about but I doubt I would want to do. For a number of reasons. I don't like to travel. I am content enough where I am. So yeah, going to stick around with Earth until the bitter end. Whether its my bitter end or the bitter end of this planet, only time will tell. It can go either way at this point.

The idea is very interesting. Of all the planets in our solar system, it seems that Mars is most likely to contain water. However, extreme temperatures and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere makes it impossible to live without oxygen reserves. I would not be ready to go, to colonize Mars, perhaps just a more advanced stage of development of society there.

Well,it is likely that one day these problems will be solved and the conditions on Mars will be almost similar to those on Earth.I'm convinced it will happen,and I hope to live until then.
