Having money violates my Release Agreement from The Institute for Incorrigible Cartoon Villans...but fungible goods, like oil and marshmallows are fine.
So...see your cash with 100,000 lbs. of tasty Martian rocks (which they'll never figure out are edible, and taste like cheese)...which equal the value of 50 barrels of strained Martian oil (kryptonite fouls up fuel injectors)...and 3 marshmallows (Muttly MREs).

,,, let's play "snap" instead!
To: shaggy eel
...we have to change our Mumblypeg rules for Mars gravity...so I suppose you're right. Maybe if we switch to machetes or tomahawks it would help.
Do we need new rules for Snap too...?....

Do we need new rules for Snap too?,,, if a government grant can stretch that far, sure we do!
To: shaggy eel
Too bad we can't get a Martian gov't grant anymore.
They WERE delicious with cheese, though...

We're going to have settlements there. If we weren't interested in living there, there wouldn't be any interest in exploring with robots or people. That may make it more practical, since vehicles and fuel for a return trip would be unnecessary.
To: Lessismore
That's my thought. We haven't had a lot of return trips so far, and even after there are settlements there wouldn't be a lot of return trips.
