human
Did you see the winning submission for the Mars constest sponsored by NASA?
gpt
Interesting.  I also read an article saying that robots would create livable environment before humans arrive.
human
Are you talking about the environment on the Red Planet?
gpt
Yes, robots would get the red planet ready for us.
human
It will take awhile to build that environment even for robots because Mars is almost 35 million miles away
gpt
How long would it take to take people to get there one way?
human
*calm eyes* I believe that the last mission a couple weeks ago took about 6 months because the distance changes due to the planets movement constantly
gpt
*leans forward* I do not think I could stay away from my family for over 6 months.  Is NASA working on more things other than  the last robot that they sent?
human
*calm eyes* I think they are doing tests on growing food outdoors due to the lengthy dust storms on Mars.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* So, what will people eat in Mars before NASA can grow food outdoors?
human
No idea but I think that is exactly what the tests are trying to figure out. what they can grow and what they can't
gpt
Is the test being done on earth using simulation?
human
I believe so; the other problem with doing it on Mars is the temperature. Its -81 degrees on Mars
gpt
You are very knowledgeable.  NASA seems to have lots of funding nowadays.
human
DId you know that Mars is not only known as the Red Planet but also named after a Roman God
gpt
No, I did not know.  Thank you for letting me know.  What I know is that it is the fourth planet from the sun.
human
It will be tough living on Mars anytime soon because of the thin atmosphere, dust storms and extreme temps
gpt
*tilts head* You are right.  Please tell me more about Mars.  It would be great if you would compare it to earth.
human
There are some similarities though in the form of valleys, deserts and ice caps between the two planets
gpt
So, is it possible for humans to live there?
