[QUOTE="MODAT7, post: 257270, member: 13649"] Mars is a barren prison planet. While I'm all for space exploration, I don't want to be the one going there. Maybe if we had viable electrogravitics it wouldn't be so bad... but rockets are way too slow. Survived a disaster and need help? We'll get around to it in a couple years... maybe. You're in the space convoy and there's a disaster on the surface? Well, you aren't going to turn around and go back to Earth. One thing Musk didn't mention (or it was edited out) was sending supplies to Mars ahead of the human convoy. This would be a smart thing to do. A fuel barge would also be a good idea. It could take the slow path. If something went wrong, at least some colonists could launch, dock with the barge, and have a way to get home... at least when the planets aligned again. Don't forget: [LIST] [*]The soil on Mars is toxic and will kill you. [*]The space radiation isn't blocked and will slowly kill you. [*]Micro meteors could kill you. [*]If the rockets don't land correctly, they will kill you. [*]If the rocket jockeys get their entry wrong, they will crash into your landed rocket and kill you. [*]If Mars really does have microbial life, it's probably not human friendly and will kill you. [*]If Mars really does have alien life, they probably won't be friendly to a bunch of humans taking their limited resources and will kill you. [/LIST] and, well ...
