Next-best Thing To Being On Mars

They have the singular advantage of being on Earth.

Thus no micro-meteorite going through the space suit and would-be Martian observer at some 60 miles per second.

The one-way trip sounds just fine, so much cheaper, and more efficient.

But the descendants of those from Earth will over time change, due to the weaker gravity, temperature/pressure and so on.

Will there ever be a "War of the Worlds"?

I trust I shall be in a far better place, by then.

Kind Regards....

Good idea and it does not matter what is so obviously wrong with the whole thing right now. We need to start somewhere if we want to venture further out later on in our development. Start, with errors, in a safe place and learn from it.

I believe that we need to do a lot more of these "learning" models in order to gain more practical experience. I don't mean to say we should do this at the expense of outer space ventures or explorations, not at all. I believe the two go, and should go, hand in hand so we prepare ourselves on all fronts.

Maybe we should do more of these with the Moon in mind as well. All the said in Space 1999 was not gospel you know .
