Science: Will We Survive Mars? (Video)
‘Glad You Asked’ looks like an interesting series. This premiere episode definitely got my geek meter needle going up (er… pause?… kinda). YouTube might have to get some money out me to play (okay, pause again, just to be sure).
NASA says the first humans will set foot on Mars in the mid-2030’s. It will be the most dangerous mission any human has ever taken. Glad You Asked host Cleo Abram wants to know: What comes after that? Not how do we get there, but how will we survive once we do?

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Tells Stephen Colbert: ‘We Should Go To Mars’ (Video)
Elon Musk (aka Marvel Comics’ character Tony Starks come to life) recently interviewed with Stephen Colbert, telling him that he is “aspiring to send people to Mars.” Of course, the billionaire who owns SpaceX has had his eyes on out-of-this-world travel, but his reasoning is intriguing. Worth watching the above clip for.
“…humanity as we know it is likely to propagate into the future much further than if we are a single-planet species…[It’s] life insurance, collectively…It would be the greatest adventure ever…really exciting and inspiring…it’s possible to transform Mars into an Earth-like planet.”
Very cool.
