There’s poll with the article. Apparently I’m one of the 2% of respondents who think it will never be possible.

I don’t see how, but I’m probably not the right person to ask.

I know some people in DC I’d like to send to Mars, can I get a group discount?

Definitely. The best the initial travellers could hope to do is set up infrastructure for the survival of future travellers.
We have the technology to terra-form Mars, but it will take at least 200-300 years to make any real progress.

So, what happened to Andrea Rossi and his E-cat? Guess all those kids he was going to donate for a cancer cure will have to wait.

I have a dumb question: Is there enough frozen water on Mars that if it were liquid would be enough to fill the Valles Marineris?
If not, then all we could hope for is to have the water (which always seeks the lowest level, to accumulate there?

I avoid the e-cat threads the same way I sued to avoid the Crevo-Devo threads.

Mars has a lot of water locked up in its ice caps and underground. Perhaps enough to be self-sufficient. The asteroids between Mars and Jupiter could be used to make even more water.

“...send a human mission to Mars in one to three months.’’
Provided they don’t collide with an asteroid. Is this an ion engine?
