At that point the martian land will be safe for humans to explore and enjoy.

The main danger of radiation is the damage it does to the cell of your body. So we need to be very careful.

]]> Comment on Will Humanity Mine The Moon For Titanium? by Mark Ball http://www.colonyworlds.com/2011/10/will-humanity-mine-the-moon-for-titanium.html#comment-3141 Mark Ball Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:15:00 +0000 http://www.colonyworlds.com/?p=2123#comment-3141 Interesting. I don’t see why not. The moon would be an expensive place to mine, but it would probably be fairly easy once we get out there and build a colony.

I guess it’s really a case of getting the infrastructure set up. If we’re going to live there anyway then we might as well, but I’m not sure if we’d go there specifically for it. I guess it’s one more reason to add to the list though

For the “coil design” I guess it would be more efficient to create a superconducting coil and cool it down constantly, than to provide a constant power to support the current.
