Humans to live on Mars 'within 25 years'
Posted Thu Jul 24, 2008 12:23am AEST Updated Thu Jul 24, 2008 12:32am AEST
A professor of planetary science says humans could be living on Mars within 25
years.
Professor Jeff Taylor from Hawaii's Institute of Geophysics and Planetology is
addressing a
conference in Perth today.
He says humans could be living on the moon within 15 years, and if basic life
supports like
oxygen and water can be secured, humans could colonise Mars within 25 years.
Professor Taylor says it is human nature to want to explore and colonise new
areas and
humans may go to Mars for economic reasons, or to secure additional energy
supplies.
