Every couple of years, we could dispatch people from Earth to Mars.

We need to make a greater investment in human intelligence.

As we visit Mars multiple times, we will build up infrastructure on the surface to expand the capabilities and reach of humans on Mars.

It's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid.

I think space exploration is very important. I think there is very intelligent life on Mars. I believe that Martians are spying on us from the bottom of the ocean.

Mars has a bit of air pressure; maybe we can build up that atmosphere to be a bit more accommodating to humans.

We want to build intelligence that augments human abilities and experiences.

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.

Being able to have a laboratory on Mars, being able to have some sort of sustained human presence on Mars in the future, I think, is critically important for science.

The space program needs a goal, and the goal should be humans to Mars.
