Space Expert Says Mars Colonization Is Impossible

To scientists, the Mars venture has become what the New World was to Europeans 600 years ago. For decades scientists have been planning out strategies to build permanent human colonies on Mars. But the opponents of colonizing Mars have a point too. A Greek American space expert, Dr Stamatios Krimigis has said that colonizing Mars is almost impossible, at least for the next 200 years.

Colonization, Certainly Not

With regards to temporary Mars missions, Dr Sramatois said that they have been possible since humans are able to reach and spend some time on Mars, but “Colonization, Certainly Not”. In an interview with the Greek Antenna TV, he said Elon Musk has no idea about the difficulties in materializing such a venture.
