Mice to Mars! Space rodents Red Planet pioneers

This year marks 50 years since the first human went into space. But as scientists point out, the role that animals have played in the effort as well as the service they continue to give to space research should not be dismissed. "Animals live shorter lives than humans," says Pavel Soldatov, a scientist from the BION Program. "Their metabolism is different, so we can extrapolate data from animal experiments to the conditions of man's flight into outer space." At the Institute of Biomedical Problems in Moscow, rodents are helping to solve space riddles, which include the task of learning how humans respond to spending time in orbit.



Mars is not a viable planet for new living space, sure there will be a colony in the future but it will only be for mining, and with a relatively small population. We would be better of settling the steppes of asia or the deserts and savannah of africa, and trying to terraform that, than terraform another planet. the problems are here, on Earth but because of us not because of Mars.
And yes, Mars is one escape for our race, the actual crise is because have to many humans on the planet, no resource for all, no jobs, no homes, no space, contamination, etc.
The Humans, and i mean ALL, with the muslims, christians, budists, etc, have to accelerate the space programs, we need Mars to send colony there.
Humans must explore the space to find new solar systems good for our race.
Exploration space FTW.
