   I have discovered that in a paper published in 2016, several researchers   
   undrscore that this project of colonization of Mars with a one trip   
   colony is UNFEASIBLE:   
      
   An independent assessment of the technical feasibility   
   of the Mars One mission plan – Updated analysis   
      
   Acta Astronautica 120 (2016) 192–228   
      
   They determine (for instance) that the crew would die after 58 days for   
   lack of CO2 for tyhe crops they need. And many other problems. Actually   
   this is a 100% suicide mission.   
      
   There is no alternative to robotic exploration in the immediate future.   
      
   As I have pointed out several times in this group, life in Mars was   
   discovered many times since the Viking lander. Life there would be wiped   
   out by human presence, what nobody seems to care a lot about.   
      
   I do. Life in Mars should be preserved from all the mostly commercial   
   interests pushing for a human Mars mission.   
      
   We have screwed this planet. Let's not repeat the same destructive   
   behavior in another one.
