Whatever bones you have left might break upon your return-landing, as you would have to withstand a force 10 to 12 times earth's gravity.

What about cost?: It has been estimated that it would cost $500,000 billion.

Any volunteers?
are you kidding me??? lol sometimes I feel like I'm living on Mars !
