Gardening On Mars

Calopteryx writes "Following Obama's announcement of the intention to send humans to Mars by the mid-2030s, New Scientist reports on plans to piece together the elements of a starter kit for the first colonists of the Red Planet: 'The creation of a human outpost on Mars is still some way off, but that hasn't stopped us planning the garden.'"

OT: Barack Obama's mission

[mi]

What, exactly, do you consider to be the mission of Barack Obama?

His self-declared aim is to "Spread the Wealth" to ensure Equality of Results for everyone. Because our Equality of Opportunity is so bourgeoisies... I find it most alarming, because that equal result will never be good. All — as in 100% — of past attempts to make everyone equally rich have failed, and made everyone equally poor instead. Life will suck, and — for me, at least — the fact, that it sucks equally for most (not for all, of course, some people will remain more equal than others) will be of little consolation.

And how can you support him if you don't support what he wants to do?

The way Illiberals were able to "Support the troops, but not their mission", darling.
