First Mars-Goers Should Prepare For a One-Way Trip
Luminary Crush writes with this excerpt from PhysOrg about the permanance of leaving Earth for Mars, at least for early travelers: "The first astronauts sent to Mars should be prepared to spend the rest of their lives there, in the same way that European pioneers headed to America knowing they would not return home, says moonwalker Buzz Aldrin. '[the distance and difficulty is why you should] send people there permanently,' Aldrin said. 'If we are not willing to do that, then I don't think we should just go once and have the expense of doing that and then stop.'" On the other hand, maybe they'll catch a ride back with Carrie-Anne Moss.
Only if we start with Bush.
I am very small, utmostly microscopic.
Most liberals would include Malkin along with Randy Ayres that's just evidence of how out of touch many really are. I have Bush as much as the next (rational) person but the wide net many liberals cast to demonize people with ideological differences is so wide it's literally scary..
