There is talk about trying to colonize Mars. It would take billions of dollars to send people up to Mars and it would cost $200,000 a person to go. The plan is in 8 years have people go and within 50-150 years have Mars colonized.This may be a good thing to do because humanity has a better chance of surviving if you have 2 planets than 1. I think the funding will be hard to do and there has been talk about this for a while now, so if I think they're going to do it yes; within the 8 years there will be at least an attempt. The government will have to be on board with it though.
