Re: entrepreneur - funding

...I do not want to be beholden to corporate fat cats, over whom we have zero say and who aren't accountable to us in the least

And also, I want to be ::a part:: of going to Mars;

wouldn't my sugestion meet these two conditions?

*Hi John.  I don't doubt that you have good and sincere intentions.  However, I have 2 questions:

1.  Who will oversee the collection of funds?
2.  Who will oversee the overseer?

Travelling in the first vessels returning to the moon or going the next step for mars will require the people needed to establish the facilities that will eventually bring the first colonization vessels to mars for the mars settlement. That will take time, If you want to be in the first vessels then you need a skill or specialization that will be required.
