as I sent you in your mail, wouldn't it be better for them to earn their own keep, like you and I? I'm not necessarily talking about a GOVERNMENT project because we all know how they turn out, but rather something private, long term, and with a positive benifit greater than the sum of it's parts.

Mars is an unworthy goal, it must be only a starting point. We need to colonize space, obtain new sources of raw marerials, food, etc., plus room for humanity to continue to expand and prosper. We need true long term thinking.

Fine. Have at it without my tax dollars. I don't even need to dispute the likelihood that folks in wheel chairs can be more healthy and productive at zero G than on earth. That is the beauty of the free market. You are free to do what others think is wrong.

Have at it with your investors' money.
