- We Should Colonize Mars by 2100 (pro)

Looks like I shifted you by 60 years.  I don't know about a colony but I'd certainly like to see a continuous human presence on Mars by 2100 (assuming that no life forms presently exist there).

One is amazed by that this sport exists and people enjoy it. One thinks that is cruel.

never mind, I switched sides on Social Media one. I just consider it "strong" because I'm doing major research for a school project and so I have more info available than vast majority of topics.

I am intrigued by this conditional trailing statement.

@fauxlaw
in a recent debate seldiora mentioned possible life as a reason to colonize Mars by 2040.  The character count in that debate was too short to allow a response but I'd argue that proof of life on Mars is more likely a reason to delay colonization until definite protections for the only known non-terrestrial lifeforms are well established.  I did make arguments similar to this in a debate vs. RM and vs Lannon13 on DDO.

If Mars is inhabited, then humans probably have additional responsibilities regarding the investigation and preservation of Martian inhabitants.

Ah, right. I do remember the debate with RM; the other is a little fuzzy, I think its in voting now and I will address it before it closes. I do recall the discussion of potential harm to us without a fuller understanding of conditions.
