Mars is a lifeless rock. It has no value at all. God “created the heavens and the Earth” . Not the “Heavens and Mars” for his likeness to occupy and have dominion. We have no money to blow looking for water on this red hot planet (240 degrees F). What we need to do is close our borders and stop printing money.

Thanks for the giggle. I love the "no, we can't!" stuff - it's nearly always wrong, and the more prominent the proponent, the more embarrassing the issue. We recall the great (and he was) Lord Kelvin opining that (1) heavier than air flight was impossible, and (2) that radio had no future. He only had to wait eight years before the Wrights.

Man will walk on Mars during my lifetime. Deal with it.
