It's great that people are interested in Mars.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it's cool.
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.
It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid.
I think that when humans get around to exploring and building cities and towns on Mars, it will be viewed as one of the great times of humanity, a time when people set foot on another world and had the freedom to make their own world.
We want to make sure we get living astronauts to the surface of Mars.
Perhaps the best motivation for going to Mars is political. It is obvious that no single nation currently has either the will or the resources to do it alone, but a consortium of nations and space agencies could achieve it within 20 years.
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.
If humanity doesn't land on Mars in my lifetime, I would be very disappointed.
I almost feel like Mars has been taking care of me for all of these years.
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.
