I imagine we can use both use Mars and the Asteroid belt. What I think may happen is this that the factories may leave Earth (at least the heavy industry) and mining leave this planet to space...

Private industry can do it better.. I was just saying the money we spent with the porkulus we could have had 2 Mars missions..

Very true. The Porkulas money could have been much better spent. It would have been far more worth while to have put the funds to a moon or mars project rather than kickbacks for cronies and all the other vote buying schemes.
