well we got to survive 2012 before that
Anywayz, i wonder why can't just Mankind ship water to the planet, since our polar ice caps are melting making too much water for us.
So throw some to Mars and maybe it can turn into a paradise

that is very impractical, unless we get some kind of ship that can hold megamillion tons of water (and how would a heavy thing like that lift off the earth?), trying to take out water out of the ocean is like spitting into it to try to make it rise.

True, but if you say water most people think of the liquid stuff, and ice isn't liquid.

String a giant tube into space with the next space shuttle and tow it to a giant container, then pump the water into orbit.

The water has always been there, it's just that mankind has taken up to much room.
Edit: Forgot to add, if you have BF2 theres a mod based on the coloniztion of mars.
