So, in other words, the answer is yes (to golf, not pollution)

Why should we go to Mars? We can see everything we wish of Mars by remote controlled equipment. If we send someone up there, will they survive? Will they make the long trip back? Have we sent anything up there, landed successfully AND made it back to Earth? I guess if some believe that man can change the climate on Earth, then they can go to Mars and warm it up and create oxygen from CO2. Since I know that living on Mars will never have any affect on me, I really don't care if some private money goes into the effort. However, I do not wish to see our taxpayer money go to the effort. Do I care if our sun goes out? Nope, because it won't happen in my lifetime, and probably not in my great-great-great grandchildren's lifetime. I personally believe that man's existence is based solely on God's plan for us, not on man believing they are gods and can have any choice in the matter.
Man travel to Mars? Why? Because they can? Good luck, just don't force me to contribute to the effort. Not interested in encouraging folks to go there just because they can, or think they can. There are many cheaper ways to commit suicide here on earth. |

I don't believe that I said it isn't in HIS plan. I was suggesting that some feel that they can change the climate here, therefore god-like egos. I have no more interest in someone putting a country flag on Mars than I do when someone breaks a home run record in baseball or rushing record in football. As for putting a man on Mars is concerned, I believe it's just more frivolous spending of taxpayer's hard earned money. And like I said before, if the private sector wishes to waste their money, so be it.

Great endeavors bring amazing scientific discovery that save lives, and can help protect our country and much more. Hardly what I would call frivolous spending. It is a normal part of living as part of a society. |

Besides, even if we could come up with the technology to live further out in the solar system or even to send humanity to the starts, it's not that likely that we'd live that far into the future anyway. Humans haven't been around for all that long compared to some dinosaur species, but even they didn't last a billion years. If we last another hundred thousand years or so, we will have had quite a nice run of it. Given how we have been as stewards to the planet, we probably won't last nearly that long. |

Personally, I like option 2. Just because I love my species, that doesn't blind me to our faults. No kids means I have no stake in the future. Still, I'd like to think there is hope for my species, even though I will never know. |
