Re: Can we colonize here? - Pro-Mars Direct editorial
[=http://www.techcentralstation.com/011304A.html]This guy writes in favor of Zubrin and Mars Direct.
Comments?
Also, maybe some of us should post brief, tactful, positive comments [http://www2.techcentralstation.com/1051 … 51-011304A]here to support this guy and suggest his readers visit NewMars. Maybe embed some links to [http://www.newmars.com]www.newmars.com in his comments section?
All I suggest is that any NewMars people who go to visit - - please comb your hair, brush your teeth and post respectfully. And remember! We are a classy web forum.

Re: Can we colonize here? - Pro-Mars Direct editorial
Turn over the Moon and Mars, and just about any other space realestate to the Ted Turner's and Bill Gates of the world?
So you can buy land, and own it, if you can get there. Of course getting there, and having the means to live there is even more exspensive, so what's the point?
Follow the Immigrant model of getting people to America, for the Moon and Mars? A group funds one person to go, they work, sending money home to pay for two people, who come over and work so 4 more people can come, etc...
His article ntoes that government isn't very good after the trailblazing period of exploration... um, did I not get the newsbit, but isn't a return to the moon, and the possibility of Mars trailblazing?
Ahead of his times, but nothing for our heads in these times.
