And if any actually do it, they will regret it for the rest of their lives on Mars.......
Why is that?
They’ll be the first people to land on Mars and the first to do everything else.
NASA’s Secret Fear; The total estimated cargo weight to send “the two most highly nominated launch candidates”
could rival the atomic weight of plutonium. What to do?
Perhaps the greatest concentration of weight volume could be Ejection-Offloaded as soon as the spacecraft first clears The Milky Way.
We should have been on Mars by 1983.
2030s... how sad is that? All the visionaries of the 60’s/70’s had us out of the Solar System by now...
Never happen with any us govt money unnless the country is rebooted.

... for the Chinese. Not America. Obama and Bush destroyed our space program to appease Marxists and Muslims. I'm surprised Obama didn't turn Cape Canaveral into a mosque.
HaHaHa. Very pithy!
1. explicitly do not make it a world enterprise.
2. private endeavor all the way. no government effing things up.
if it’s like every damn brochure lately, white woman and black male.
Remember years ago when volunteers isolated themselves in an artificial environment to see if it could be done?
They did it, but the stress became almost unbearable, and if I remember correctly all had a very negative experience. And it was for only one year.
Being cut off from all that is normal, family, friends, and forced into a small group of people who you have not chosen to be close to is so unnatural that I believe it would become a horrible experience - if not after one year, then after 2, 3, 5 - at some point. And the realization that your artificial world is not something you can ever leave, would end up being a horrible experience.
I believe this because I know human nature and have been working with people for almost 69 years.......
Of course, this is just my opinion........
thanks BenLurkin.
