Life on Mars is looking tempting.

RE: Life on Mars is looking tempting.
Hmmm... nice video but I'm not convinced it will ever happen
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

If God had meant for man to live on Mars, he would have given us a different respiratory system and more radiation shielding.

Ask me about living on Mars again when it has a couple of shopping malls, some Chinese restaurants, a 15-screen cinema complex, a supermarket and a Burger King.  Hungry

Like I said.

My long term project for Mars is to roof over Valles Marineris. The people live in condos in the valley walls, with radiation shelters deep inside. The valley floor is for agriculture and recreation.

At work.

So..... Elon Musk or who ever gets infrastuctur, industry etc established on Mars.

What, if anything is to prevent them from blowing the dust off the old Nuke Orion plans and hooning off to Alpha Centauri?

Cheers.

That was the serial days, IIRC. Burroughs was selling a book a month or something? Doc Savage came out in pulp format.

Doc Savage was a lot later, but yeah, you're correct.

Love this vid by NASA.

Where do I sign up?
Oh shit, they probably only want smart people …

Beccs, they will need a medic. You up to it? Or chicken? lol.

They would need GPs and nurses.

Specialists aren’t generally useful in these situations until a colony has been established for some time and supports a fairly large population.

I think you should go, though. Doubtless they need cabbages...

They're working on a aerial vehicle to be used on Titan.
