I love Buzz Aldrin. However, on this I think he’s misguided. We aren’t going to Mars in his lifetime, in my lifetime, in my kid’s lifetime, or in his unborn kids’ lifetime. The logistical difficulties and expense of going to Mars are astronomically high. We would be much wiser to spend our Space dollars developing the moon. Do it with robots to keep the expense and the risk down, as well as to give a boost to the robotics industry. Don’t waste it on Mars.
Barney Frank Dreams of Uranus.
Kevin Davis: Dream of Alpha CentauriThat would be a great title for your memoirs, btw. : ')
I don’t think we will ever land a man on Mars within four generations. Maybe not even go back to the moon if at all.
The reason:
We have no money.
