Oh sure, what harm can possibly come from introducing a foreign species into an alien environment? That's never caused any problems before. :)

I don't know. These folks seem to think they can do it. :)

"Rashid Al Zaabi, Project Supervisor and Creator of the Palm Trees Experiment in Space Concept, said that they chose the palm tree because the environment on Mars is similar to the environment needed to cultivate palm trees."

What if the rock people there aren't happy with us? Are we prepared to deal with them? You see what can happen in this historical document:

Anything is possible for those of us who've watched too many Star Trek episodes.
Except for those of us with engineering experience. The hurdles are daunting indeed.

I don't think he read my posted links about the martian environment.
About all they have in common is an abundance of desert & drought.

We need to give the stone beings jobs.
It's worked before....after a rocky start.

It was only made possible because the writers required him to do it.
(They also re-wrote the martian soil composition.)

Well, they’d have the money to back it up, w/ their oil, gold, and diamond exports!

You are correct. I hope we get to Mars in my lifetime. I was a baby when we got to the moon. Exciting time to be alive. We have come so far so fast. My Grandfather who was born in 1917 was picked up for school in a horse-drawn wagon and he lived to see us go to the moon. Where will be 100 years from now? Or 1000?
