Should Earthlings travel to and inhabit Mars? A discussion.
 

Jim Laurent will discuss travel to and habitation of the planet Mars and discuss the question of should this be undertaken.

Our regular room at Everglades is unavailable due to prep for early primary voting.

No, I think Mars is very nice just as it is.

Those of us who love Mars don't want humans to move in and screw it up like they did to poor old Earth.

Skip our beautiful planet and give Jupiter a try. I never liked that bossy big planet anyway.

Loooooooong way off, it took 50 years to land on moon AGAIN!

It's fairly obvious that The Villages will run out of expansion land eventually and Mars may offer a viable alternative. As it is, many people I've met here, seem to have come from there (Mars).

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact, it's cold as hell. And there's no one there to raise them, if you did.

Aren't we originally from Mars anyway. Of course, after the trip from the Pleiades earlier.

There’s no way people are going go to Mars, not now or ever.

I'm sure the Morse family already owns land there.

Huh? Is there a basis for that assertion or are you just floating it out there?

Initial thoughts
 

1. Mars bars are inferior while everything Hershey's is worth traveling to

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

I think Mars might be interesting to visit as a tourist but until they developed some winter sports there or something, I don’t see much attraction.

Marvin (the Martian) has specifically requested NO visitors. I also understand his space modulator has been revamped to track intruders. I have this on good advice from Bugs Bunny.

Unless we become a space going race we die when the sun expires.

You're way beyond these folks mind capabilities. Keep it to like...everything is OK, kinda responses. They all believe that they can control the weather and that all orbits don't decay...sad and frustrating
