coal, cotton etc).

We went to the Moon a few times, but it didn't have very much of anything we
needed. Also you can pull up a video of what it's like to walk or drive on the
moon anytime you want.

While I agree the full return trip is a higher, more noble goal I just don't
see the same forces at work that will require regular back and forth trips.

I remember looking at a site that were planning a Mars mission and they
expected you to pay in order to go on it. I have no idea why anyone would pay
to be stuck on Mars..

I would pay to be sent to Mars. I would not pay to be dropped into the
Pacific.

That difference may not make sense to you, but it really doesn't matter if you
don't understand it. Nobody is trying to convince _you_ to do it yourself.
