Answer 7

Probably not because in 4 yrs we might be dead!

Answer 8

I wouldn't think so, unless there is some catalyst towards the objective like that of the Space Age where it was Russia v US. Mars is much more of a sci-fi dream than reality; the cost of oil, pollution, EU/NATO bickering is taking much more concern among the multitudes than being an intergalactic force to be reckoned with.  

Answer 9

yes but not so soon

Answer 10

hope we do

Answer 11

The answer to that question has become much clearer, just in the past few weeks. Right now, it looks like the first mission sending humans beings to Mars will happen within most of our lifetimes, and is scheduled to occur by the year 2030.

On January 14, 2004, President George W. Bush charted a new course of human exploration of the solar system, which may one day send a human mission to Mars. Bush called for the retirement of the Space Shuttle fleet by 2010 in order to pursue the development of a new "Crew Exploration Vehicle" to carry astronauts beyond low earth orbit for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. Bush committed NASA to return to the Moon no later than 2020, and more likely by 2015, in order to prove the technologies necessary to someday send humans "beyond". While there is no specific deadline for a piloted Mars mission in Bush's vision, NASA seems to understand that the return to the moon is only meant as a waypoint, a "pit-stop", on the way to Mars.

Answer 12

yes, I do believe
