Talk:Space Shuttle to Mars
A U.S. congress person is more likely to cut his or her throat than to approve a one way manned mission to Mars.--Farred 06:47, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- And other U.S. congress persons might not. It depends on how this enterprise is put into a context and, for the first degree, on the public opinion. Do you know something about the latter? -- Rfc 18:39, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
- I should qualify what I wrote. Until there is sufficient development of our knowledge, capabilities and the industrial infrastructure on Mars (which could be placed by artificially intellegent remotely operated devices) that a colony on Mars could survive and prosper, congress will not aprove a one way manned mission to Mars. I do not know much about congress, but I feel confident in that. If I am wrong, it could be demonstrated by congressional action to the contrary. Until then my belief is firm.--Farred 11:24, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
