Yet if they are too small, they will not be suited for breeding purposes as they might not survive the ordeal. Sure one might want them young so they can breed over a longer period of time to populate the colony, but they have to survive past the child birth stage to do so.

I hesitate to suggest (considering SH's... impatience, for lack of more accurate yet polite term), but bring them while they are young and wait a few years for them to grow some child bearing hips. (Reference their older relatives to see if it's going to happen.)

Since an artificial womb will probably be invented before voyages to mars become common, I think the best scenario is to send fertilized eggs to mars, along with the required machinery to create a base and a minimal crew. Once the base has been completed you can mass produce humans. If genetics has advanced enough you can modify their dna to be able to breath in an atmosphere with a minimum amount of oxygen.

Seriously, though, I don't know who'd be volunteering to colonize Mars. It's like the European pioneers all over again, except this time with extreme science/logistics to deal with (vastly more so, anyways... not to suggest the European explorers did not include intelligent individuals among them, but this is a whole new ballgame)... do such individuals exist in today's world, comprising the adventurous nature to venture to a completely alien climate, with the intelligence to make the project work? Not many people are looking to colonize Antarctica, and I'd assume bio-forming a habitable community there would be easier than on Mars. |

Sea levels rising much faster than the "UN IPCC" projections. I got popcorn, we can watch science-challenged denier beach front property become ocean farm zones.

5 Reasons to Be Terrified That Computers Can Now Read Faces:
"The ability of computers to recognize faces is so common now that your Xbox Kinect can do it, logging you in the moment you step in front of the thing. It seems like a fairly harmless invention -- if anything, it will save you a few seconds when (for instance) your future house will recognize that it's you at the door instead of a burglar. But this technology is going in a series of extremely creepy directions. Recognizing you is just the beginning -- the goal is to create software that can all but read your goddamned mind. Don't believe us? Because the technology exists so that ..." See: http://www.cracked.com/article_20135...ead-faces.html |

"Calm down, Mars fanatics. NASA has tossed a wet blanket over speculation that
its Curiosity rover has found evidence of life – or, at minimum, of organic compounds – on the Red Planet. "Rumors and speculation that there are major new findings from the mission at this early stage are incorrect," the agency plainly stated in a press release on Thursday."
