Mars, here we come!

SPIEGEL Interview with NASA Manager: 'Mars Is the Planet of Our Destiny' - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International: "But the most important thing is the fact that people will one day set foot on Mars and populate it. The red desert planet Mars, provided it doesn't have any life of its own, could become a green Mars through so-called terraforming -- in other words, the active transformation (of its environment). If that's successful, humankind will have created itself a second home, just in case an asteroid impact or other major catastrophe wipes out life on Earth."

This I want to believe in.
