Hmmm... nice video but I'm not convinced it will ever happen

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.

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...
