If water is actually found on the planet Mars what will be the next step or steps taken to development of a space colony?What kind of timeline would this involve?
Exploring Mars is difficult and expensive. We probably won’t send humans for another 20 to 30 years. Colonies or outposts on Mars certainly would take many more decades. Remember, we sent humans to the Moon starting in 1969 but still have no colony there. Think of Antarctica, a place that is much easier to get to and live than Mars. But we have had permanent outposts there only for the past 50 years.
