Should the United States only allow...

* allow only americans...the moon also

How are they going to stop anyone else landing?

has oil been discovered?

If Americans are having Mars exclusively we should try and get Dairy Milk exclusively.

The United States are the only country that has shown it has the technological and scientific and all round right stuff to travel into space...they will be first to mars and it should be claimed as their territory.

We do not want the British or Russians there!

Do you realize nothing has ever been invented in Russia?

You cannot claim another planet as your territory

What are you trying to do start a war in space, no one has landed on Mars yet

ebul i am trying to prevent a war, it is vital the US remains top dog or we may all be murdered as we sleep, Europe is sleep walking to disaster... only America can produce a Chuck Yeager and a Steve Wazniak.

And a Honey Boo Boo.

Do you realize nothing has ever been invented in Russia?


I take it you have never seen Marina Visconti?

" ...it is vital the US remains top dog or we may all be murdered as we sleep"

Do you mean that if the world does not bow down before the military might of the New US World Order they will kill us all? Like Bush said ´you are either with us or against us´.

The first time in 4 years on here you´ve actually spoken some sense Lfc.

Upside down thinking TiptheOdds, give your head a wobble.

Be overrun by immigrants within 10 years.

that's a thought, we could send them all to Mars

We will just forget to tell them there is no oxygen or they will immediately freeze to death on arrival

In fact we could claim Mars, we landed Beagle II there..

Never heard from it since mind you, but I believe it landed or more likely crashed on Mars

landed, but solar powered batteries failed due to possible lack of exposure to sun. spotted recently I believe?

There we are...MARS is ours

Surely the yanks can make an exception and take Michael Atherton? Just tell them he's Canadian..

I have no intention of going to sleep at night by the light of a crescent or commie moon!

Does it make any difference?

It is nothing but a gigantic barren lump of rock as is Mars...

what is there to fight over???????????????????

Science fact, lags a long way behind Science Fiction

ebul let me explain this simply, should the moon or any planet fall into the pocession of an evil empire, such as Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany, or an evil religion we will all in the free world be slaves...T he moon and Mars must remain the property of the United States it is very important that these new worlds are American.

David Cameron has more or less said if Aliens land in this country they would have to
find a job otherwise we would send them back to the planet they were born

How exactly do you work that out?

Quite right, but it is an Americans ineliable right to live anywhere in the universe.

quite right to lfc 1971
and the sooner they start the better..tomorrow for instance

It wouldn't surprise me if humans were found to have lived on Mars but extracted every last ounce of energy and food off the planet
and the last few with high intelligence had built a rocket and moved to the Earth...but where would you move next not to a planet
that looks like a desert

very rude ebul...that  is the sort of attitude that rules the Brits out of space travel, you are banned along with every other country!

you were our colony once, don't you forget it

I think it would be a nice idea if the US or any other country do not claim the Moon or Mars for their

own country.

Instead they claim it for the Human Race. Nationality, religion, etc, are things left behind on Earth.

Everybody  who can get there, is accepted as an equal, as a member of the Human Race (there will not be many).

That is the right way to do this I feel.

Although it has to be said nobody is rushing at the moment. We are colonising Mars with Robots at the moment.

It would be very nice if people stopped f***ing claiming things, full stop.

You are all wrong, they should only allow Mu5lims on Mars.

Can you imagine the disaster it wuld be if the vast majority of mankind were to be allowed to leave this planet......we do not want any savages on Mars!

they will have to change the baseball to the universal series now....

My idea of leaving Nationalism behind on Earth, will only last until something of value is discovered on Mars

over which we will then compete

I imagine then, different countries will land at different parts of the planet and claim that for themselves

Its a bit rich to claim a whole planet

There is also an idea we could reintroduce an atmosphere on Mars, to make it habitable for life, without space suits.

That is very long term, a considerable time away.

I think it had an atmosphere at one time and water on the surface, but the gravitational pull of the planet could not hang

onto the atmosphere.

The robots we send are currently looking to see if life existed in this period.

There a very large US Robot trundling round of its craters now looking for possible evidence, Curiosity

So far Mars has sadly not lived up to its Science Fiction billing

v.good breeding

Well if the US are going to claim Mars, we can at least claim the area around Beagle 2

We should call it 'New Britain'

If Richard Branson actually gets one of his space craft into space without blowing

we will get there some day

up

I like the thrust of lfc1971's argument.
Mars should be owned by the USA. They set some basic rules like no financial favours to religion and free press and pron being artistic expression. And then the rest of the world works really hard, saves up, and buys the place off them, a piece at a time. That's how the system works here, and no-one's complaining.
