Don't you mean, life sucks? After all, if you weren't alive, you wouldn't have any concerns about dumpsters, expenses, or physics.
I prefer to think physical reality sucks :) Reality doesn't care about mysticism, wishful thinking or BioLife.

Instead of living in a pressurized dumpster (one little pinhole or "glitch" and everyone dies) on Mars or the moon, why not live on a cruise ship like the Icon of the Sea? It is a FAR better idea at FAR lower cost and FAR less dangerous with FAR better amenities.

Seriously...Why would anyone fantasize about living on Mars? Not even Elon Musk does that. It would be like fantasizing about living in a Boeing 747 flying at an altitude of 250 million miles :)

NASA procurment
 
NASA has a completely different set of procurement regs, and is not forced to go with low bid. I was in procurement for the DOJ and found NASA's regs very interesting.







QUOTE=mtdjed;2305481]And we have a broken Lander after 59 years of progress. How would you like to see that if you were on the Mars lander? Once was in attendance to a session with an astronaut. I recall his comment regarding confidence in mission success. He made a comment relating to hard to be 100% when all of the parts were made by the lowest bidder.[/QUOTE]

He's disguised as a Vulcan. Elon is actually a Romulan. Don't trust him.

2. I would pay good money to go deep into the resistance underground just to see Quado pop out that dudes belly

3. MARS has no amenities or golf in the southern areas except for a butcher that charges $58 a pound for a decent steak and has Marsy Bingo on a Monday night
Love obscure references like #2! Favorite line from that movie, "Consider that a divorce"!

I think explorers should explore every corner of our universe, so long as they do it on their own dime. I might even chip in, if it was voluntary and I got a cut of whatever they find.

But I've never quite understood the logic of colonizing a planet with an unbreathable Co2 atmosphere, and no water, that's bombarded by deadly radiation, and colder than Antarctica. For crying out loud, the entire continent of Antarctica is right there, just 12,000 miles away! You can breath the air, and even walk around outside without radiation poisoning, and if you get thirsty, you can just break off a chunk and melt it!

But I can't think of a better place for a Global Warming fanatic to escape to than Mars. I hope they all catch the next rocket out.

No exploration is ever accomplished on their own dime. Everyone reaps the benefits through advancements in all fields. If Columbus hadn't had help from the Spanish crown, where would we be today, I wonder?
As for living on Mars, terra-forming can grow plants to create an atmosphere that will alter the temperature, etc. Where there is a will, there is a way.

True, but it's the best we have within 4.1 light years :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
