Ah, Tommy Kirk had no use for her, anyhow.

And why is that? (nudge, nudge, wink, wink.)

Well, if he worked for Disney now, he would not lose his job. (A wink is as good as a nod to a blind man.)

Would the women be getting knocked up before or after they land on Mars? /sarc

[Jack Hammer]

“Sand, sand, sand - I can’t stand all this endless red sand!!!!!”

In fact it’s cold as hell...

Who’s to say that a baby raised from birth might not
adapt to the lesser gravity. The radiation and other
conditions will have to be dealt with in any event.

Mars Basketball, coming to a channel
on a planet near you soon.

I was more of a Rachael type, myself.

3-titted dwarf hooker lived, but Klaatu died.

Where is the justice in that?

Tara was a plantation in GWTW.

Terra (Firma) is the planet Earth.

What the the hell does this have to do with Mars? Earth was populated over a long time via evolution, not starting from scratch with a dead planet by humans from another planet.

Start looking at NASAs reports on the toxicity of Mars’s soil and it’s 1% atmospheric of earth and you will see why colonialism of Mars is a very bad idea. This doesn’t include the massive radiation astronauts will receive in their 86 weeks of space travel plus the radiation on Mars for their duration on the planet.

It’s a 1 way trip baby.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
