People will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it's cool.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's great that people are interested in Mars.
I would suspect strongly that over a period of time, if we put our mind to going to Mars, it will be a consortium of several countries.
I think humans will reach Mars, and I would like to see it happen in my lifetime.
Mars is key to humanity's future in space. It is the closest planet that has all the resources needed to support life and technological civilization. Its complexity uniquely demands the skills of human explorers, who will pave the way for human settlers.
The purpose of going to Mars is for humans to first begin to occupy, permanently, another planet in the solar system. The astronauts or pilgrims, whatever you might call them, are going to be very historically unique human beings.
We're not going to get humans to Mars until at least the mid-2030s, and the world is going to change by then.
If humanity doesn't land on Mars in my lifetime, I would be very disappointed.
We want to make sure we get living astronauts to the surface of Mars.
We like to talk about pioneering Mars rather than just exploring Mars, because once we get to Mars, we will set up some sort of permanent presence.
It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid.
