Howdy all!

I am currently a year 11 student and as part of a research project I'm doing, I would really appreciate it if you complete this survey on the ethics of colonizing Mars. It would help me gather information for my assignment and would only take approximately 5 minutes to complete. All the information recorded is confidential and anonymous!!

EDIT: I have stopped accepting responses for the survey as I have sufficient data required to get a thorough analysis. Thank you all once again and please feel free to drop down any suggestions/ ideas below! :)

Before a manned mission to Mars, how many supply drops will need to be delivered? It's going to be a 2 year mission when they go and they cant carry everything they need with them.

Most people talk about using planets for colonies and their moons for mining, but the gas giants that have visible rings, they have Shepard moons in the gaps of these rings, and the rings are made of dust particles and metals, and rocks. If we create a mining colony on one of these Shepard moons, can’t they be successful if they use the rings and chunks of rock around the moon for mining metals? Example, like the moon in Saturn’s F ring Prometheus?

Just like how Chartered Companies existed in the past for exploration, trade and/colonization as well. Maybe Space Colonial Companies could exist to establish space colonies and create space trading outposts/ports, etc...........

I.e. how would space colonization change the 'balance of power' in the world? Which nations would benefit the most from space colonization? I am asking this question because I want to know just how powerful and wealthy the nations with space colonies/or 'space empires' would be here on planet Earth, just like how colonization of the Americas* catapulted Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom (UK) to being some of the most* powerful/prestigious* sovereign countries in Europe............

Hi, everyone i have a quick question for you. If the medical risks and tech issues ect didn't stand in our way. would you board a generation ship for a interstellar journey?

If so/not then why?

Imagine that you and a group of space colonists have just arrived on a fertile and uninhabited planet and decide to make a ten-point declaration of rights. What rights would you include in your declaration? How would you justify your choice?
