People on Mars in 30 Years?
lucabrasi999 writes "Yahoo is running a Reuters story in which Arthur Thompson, the head of the NASA 'rover' missions, says that people could be landing on Mars in the next twenty or thirty years. If that is true, I estimate that within 50 years, Mars will need women."
Mars still needs women...
Obliteracy: Words with explosions
I predict we will arrive on Mars in tentacled tripod ships and fire death rays at the inhabitants until we are driven from the planet by microorganisms.
You are in error. No-one is screaming. Thank you for your cooperation.
Won't the Women go to Venus?

Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
Getting them back will take another 20 or 30 years.
I can see the fnords!
FYI- The B ark contains all the FP, GNAA, and Goatse trolls.
I need women!
Mars sounds like a dreamy undisclosed location to me!
*I* need women.

As do most
Are there any women even READING this stuff, let alone posting?

I think the Mars people will get very tired of all that masturbation and gay sex well before 20 years.
I'm hoping they really plan ahead. Make sure the residents have plenty of lockers full of weapons and ammunition just in case personnel become demonic flesh eating zombies, or disembodied flaming heads.
Oh, and don't forget to hide little closets all over the facility. Who knows when hidden closets large enough for a full sized human will come in handy?

Yes we read this stuff. You should really mind your manners if you want a woman, love.
You might try pretending to be offended by the way women are being spoken of. We're suckers for that kind of stuff.
Just hope that we can get there before Marvin the Martin blows up the Earth with his Uranium Pew-36 Explosive Space Modulator.

> That statement is just as true as it was 30 years ago. Well, of course it is. Because we're powering the Martian colony with nuclear fusion!
Given the typical short lived duration of marriage these days they ought to start sending the divorce lawyers right around the time they start sending the women. Or better yet, just send all the lawyers. Now there's a science fiction horror story if ever there was one: "Attack of the intellectual property lawyers from Mars."
Will we still need telephone sanitizers in thirty years?

All: URRGH! GOATSE!
I'm really offended by the way women are being spoken of here, it's really sexist and primitive. Besides, what make you think that women would not be there first anyhow?
A guy...
Here we go again!
Why not? Some Slashdotters have been waiting longer than that.
Irony galore. A woman posts on slashdot about the shortage of women on slashdot, actually gives advice on getting women (to those who don't already know how), and is consequently modded down to flamebait.
Yeah, but how does Halliburton make money off of us sending people to Mars?
Hey baby. I'm the only man on the planet.

I for one, welcome our new female overlords.
I'll see your senator, and I'll raise you two judges.
Hey, we're trying to do mankind a favor by dating all the jerks we can find. If nice guys were having regular sex and the jerks were going without, I don't even want to think about what this planet would look like!!
we just need to contrive to discover oil and be able to point to a few reports which indicate the possiblity of Mars developing WMDs.. we'd be over there in no time to find those weapons, and crush the tyranical martian dictatorship so we can get the martians started off with democracy. It wouldn't be about the oil though.
"We'll be on Mars in 30 years"
That statement is just as true as it was 30 years ago.
We'll be on mars with our flying cars and Linux desktops.
And we'll get there in our flying cars.

Have you been touched by his noodly appendage?
Didn't Doom3 teach us anything about the folly of living on Mars?
And they will be playing Dukenukem Forever.
That was an ... intruiging ... page. It left me filled with questions, and vaguely unsatisfied.
Did you mount a military-grade, variable-focus MASER on an unlicensed artificial intelligence?
In fact, it's cold as hell...
