And the point of going to Mars is ,what?
There's nothing there, and it's a two year trip one way. What's the point?
Let's colonize the Moon first and have an orbiting Hilton with a swimming pool and glass dome.
Going to Mars is for robots.

You have to wonder that when they do, in each place where they land, there might be a Chinese resturant already there.

Don't worry. With NASA in charge, won't happen. The mission of NASA is to employ NASA personnel. Any other "benefit" is incidental.

There's nothing there, and it's a two year trip one way. Six months. And with some of the newer propulsion systems, perhaps half that.
As far as there being nothing there . . . There is a lot there! But as always with the wilderness, we have to go there and build, build, build to make it comfortable.

Been doing this aerospace stuff since 1971.
Worked with scientists and engineers who worked in the general field since prior to WWII.
I'm the peon w the M.S. surrounded by PHD's, on a variety of advanced programs.
Manned mission to Mars ain't happening.
No purpose, no constituency.
Wanna guess the cost?
No, not the sticker in the marketing window, the real cost.
