People on Mars in 30 Years?

lucabrasi999 writes "Yahoo is running a Reuters story in which Arthur Thompson, the head of the NASA 'rover' missions, says that people could be landing on Mars in the next twenty or thirty years. If that is true, I estimate that within 50 years, Mars will need women."

    I predict we will arrive on Mars in tentacled tripod ships and fire death rays at the inhabitants until we are driven from the planet by microorganisms.

    Are there any women even READING this stuff, let alone posting?

    Yes we read this stuff. You should really mind your manners if you want a woman, love.

    You might try pretending to be offended by the way women are being spoken of. We're suckers for that kind of stuff.

    And they expect the first men on mars to wait 20-30 years for the aforementioned women?


    Why not? Some Slashdotters have been waiting longer than that.
