What will we do there? A hundred and forty million miles away, are we going to mine? Are we going to farm?
Besides, the first manned flight “to” Mars would likely be a death mission. Notice I didn't say fly to and from?
One small glitch, whether it be Firm/software, mechanical, pneumatic will doom a mission such as this.
I dunno, just me I guess, but I don't see the need to spend billions to fly men out to Mars.
We spent ninety jillion dollars
Tryin' to get a look at Mars
I hear universal laughter
Ringing out among the stars
