I just wonder, why MARS? This type of major construction project is of course going to run into unexpected difficulties. Why don't we at least practice building something easier first. A simple base on the Moon seems like a much more practical starting point. Let's do it somewhere (relatively) close to get a better feel for the challenges we'll face. Then take those lessons and apply them to more exotic missions. (Although I'd still consider a base on the Moon pretty exotic and plenty "prestigious" to do first!)

Because it'll cost more to sustain life on the Moon than Mars due to transporting water

You are absolutely right! I was talking with CmdrTaco about the demographics of the /. readership and the most surprising fact was that 73.852% of the readers are 63 or older!

Is this from the same people who claimed 84% of statistics are made up?
