Going to need something like a nuclear electric rocket. Not huge thrust, but constant and compact. Steady acceleration adds up over time.

If it can be promised to me that no Democrats or fake Republicans can ever go there, I will find a way.

Nurse:
“Hello? Hellooo?
“Perhaps you need another shot.”
(nurse injects, some grunting)
“There that should do it.”
(nurse walks to door, opens it)
“Sweet dreams. You bastard.”
(nurse closes door)

I remember now
I remember how it started
I can’t remember yesterday
I just remember doing what they told me
Told me
Told me
Told me

” ..and maybe we could start a fresh society without communists.”

You’d be dealing with humans still, and you’d end up with a Lord of the Flies situation.

We should not be bringing them back, make it a one way trip to set up the colony, sure, there will be casualties but plenty of people want to volunteer.

Dont have to be astronaunts, thats old thinking, these are pioneers setting up new human outposts.

Send 100, with resupply, they are expendable, we can send more next trip.

"A Hohmann transfer between Earth and Mars takes around 259 days (between eight and nine months)"

How could they get this wrong? It actually takes a little over 6 months.

Simple. Don’t do it. Mars is frozen desert with no breathable atmoshere. It is distant death and supplying micro habitats for our kind are horrifically expensive.

That won’t work.
Not gonna happen anytime soon.
What are you going to do send people 2 at a time?
The bigger the ship the more difficult to leave Earth’s gravity.
They know this.....

Mars ain’t no kind of place to raise your kids.

In fact it's cold as Hell.

What?

We aren’t going ANYWHERE...we’re all wearing masks, our elections are a disaster, and we can’t get the damn mail delivered. LOL at the former America.
