Are We Ever Gonna Make It To Mars?

E365- -- It's science fact. The impossible is nothing. And no, we're not trying to quote some mammoth show company's tagline (*cough...Adidas...*cough). We're trying to show that every major obstacle the human animal has encountered, it has overcome. So, are we gonna make it to Mars?

We'll need a few things. Food, water. Oh yeah, and air. Some of that.

Mars has a much lower gravity than Earth, allowing for longer air time in the half pipe.

We'll start by terraforming the planet (planting loads of trees that transform CO2 into O2), shortly before getting cracking on the sandboarding resorts.

Unfortunately, on Mars, water can't just swill around in liquid form, due to some pretty scientific pressure/temperature issues. At some point, however, someone's gonna have to do something about this because we've got surfing to do here.

Pure oxygen is potentially harmful to the human animal when utilised for long periods. Apollo astronauts used it on their missions, and aside from feeling really really good, none of the effects have been quantified yet. Extreme athletes can also suffer from the drying of the lungs as a result of oxygen overload.

Mars is the site of both the largest known mountain peak in the solar system and the deepest valley. Climbers and base jumpers: get your spacesuits on.

It's tough to say whether we'll make it to the nearest planet, but if we do, we'd better be leaving this place like we found it.
