I don't think we would try to get rid of the CO2 if we went to Mars, I think we would want to create more CO2 to warm up the planet. We could probably find or invent soem bacteria that eats dust and turns it into CO2 or Oxygen since we would need both to survive. Nanobots anyone? |

But Mars is already in abundance of CO2; we should make more oxygen with both plants and terraforming machines. Besides; as if we need the natural heat of the sun, and as if being farther makes the entire planet freezing. Now, it is true that it is colder, bu we wouldn't die of frostbite. And the main problem with trapping heat is that the atmosphere is so thin. |

Just get Han Solo to fly you through the astroid belt.

We pump out the CO2 to warm up the atmosphere. It is a nice asy to make greenhouse gas. Methane would be good too, but it is harder to make. |

Have you heard of a solar sail? Basically, it's a giant sail (no shit, sherlock) that is propelled along by the energy of the sun, and when strapped to a spaceship, it can accelerate it continually away from a star. Some scientists believe that we could build one that accelerates at 10m/s/s, which would, after a while, get the ship moving very quickly, and best of all, it wouldn't require fuel to move. It seems like a good idea for when we start trying to reach far off places. |

Yeah I heard of that, it moves by picking up solar wind, implying the sail part. What would happen when we left our solar system and and there are no suns to power it? A sail would be a good alternative but I don't want to be the one paying the tab. |

Just because you're further away, doesn't mean the sun stops shining. The real problem with solar sails, aside from the 'keeping humans alive in space' that I mentioned, is 'where are they going?' |

A fair point. There's also the problem of how to get back (assuming you'd need to), once you've got where you're going (wherever that might be). Hmm... I think we're still a few years from leaving the solar system at the moment. |

We have no reason to leave either. It would just be a waste of money. |

At the moment that's true. Once we've done a fair bit of exploration in our solar system, set up bases on the Moon, colonized Mars, developed technologies that enable us to survive longer and go faster in space, then we should probably think about going places, so that we can see more of the universe, and try to search for other civilisations. That'll take us hundreds of years to get to, but if we haven't killed ourselves by then, it'll happen. |

The universe is set up in such a way that if there are aliens, we can't interfere with thier culture until it won't matter because they will have it dug in by then |

But then they'll never know that Jesus died for their sins. |

Do hard-core Christians belive in aliens, and if they do, do they believe Jesus died for their sins too? |

All I know is that people with temporal-lobe epilepsy suffer from religious hallucinations, so many of them are highly religious. I have heard of at least one who also vividly believed in aliens and alien abductions. |
