What a tard. I think the dailymail is post-stalking me and Buzz Aldrin must be senile. Does he not understand how insane the temperatures on Mars are? It would be extremely difficult to do this and you'd have to be underground for thousands of years while terra forming.
Ironic, humans think they can just destroy one planet and simply move onto the next like it's no big deal. Hopefully aliens ass-rape any humans that try to colonize Mars.
Buzz Aldrin calls for 'great migration of humankind to Mars' as he praises Trump's plan for moon mission but warns against a new space race The time has come to make a giant leap and move to Mars, says the astronaut He sees setting up a permanent manned base on the Moon as the next small step 'Great migration' of humans to Mars essential as either 'we explore or we expire
Humanity must make a giant leap in space exploration and begin the process of migrating to Mars, argues Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin.
The 89-year-old said a 'great migration' is necessary not only for the sake of exploration but for the ongoing survival of the human race.
Aldrin advocated for a spirit of international collaboration, based on the work being undertaken on the International Space Station, with America taking the lead.
Buzz Aldrin, along with fellow astronauts Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins, landed on the moon almost 50 years ago.
They did this with a mission, Aldrin wrote in an opinion piece in the Connecticut paper Washington Post.
'Apollo 11 aimed to prove America's can-do commitment to space exploration, as well as its national security and technological superiority.'
'We did all that. We also "Came in Peace for all Mankind"'
'More of that is needed now.'
Mr Aldrin's comments follow from US Vice President Mike Pence's recent announcement that NASA is planning a new manned mission to the moon.
'I am with him, in spirit and aspiration,' said Buzz.
'Having been there, I can say it is high time we returned.'
'Today, many nations have eyes for the moon, from China and Russia to friends in Europe and [the] Middle East. That is all good.'
However, Mr Aldrin proposes that the United States should not only co-operate but also 'offer itself as a willing team leader in exploring every aspect of the moon.'
Such an endeavour, he argues, would extend up to the moon the open and eager spirit of co-operation presently seen surrounding the activities of the International Space Station.
However, it is the red planet that Mr Aldrin thinks needs to become the long-term focus of NASA's attention.
'Mars is waiting to be discovered,' said Aldrin.
'Not by clever robots and rovers - though I support NASA's unmanned missions - but by living, breathing, walking, talking, caring and daring men and women.'
Buzz said that, for this to actually happen, members of congress, the Trump administration and the American public must all push to make the human exploration of Mars a national priority.
βTo be clear, I do not mean spending billions of taxpayer dollars on a few hijinks or joy rides, allowing those who return to write books, tweet photos and talk of the novelty,β said Aldrin.
βI mean something very different.β
Both the US and the wider international community, Aldrin said, 'should focus on opening the door, in our time, to the great migration of humankind to Mars.'
'Books aplenty have been written about how to do this, and they have inspired government and non-government leaders to make lofty plans, he added.
'But plans without a detailed architecture, and without that "next step" into the future, are just fantasy.'
The following users say it would be alright if the author of this

We can't even figure out how to reduce atmospheric CO2 here on earth from 0.04% back down to <0.03% in order to stave off potentially destructive climate change. How the fuck are we going to make a planet with a dead core, thin atmosphere with no free oxygen and average surface temp of -60C habitable to humans? Ol' Buzz has obviously been sucking Elon Musk's dick.

Well I don't see that he gave a timeline, just that we should start the process.
