I wonder how many of the people who say they are ready to go, imagine what it
really is going to be. I think it won't be glorious. It might be exciting at
first but if you have the chance to live there more than few months it will
turn into rather lonely and hard experience. You won't have the internet or
other communications. You won't have your favorite beer, or most probably any
beer at all. Chances are you'd say good-bye to sex/love relationships, to your
parents and friends forever, to the Earth weather and green grass... You get
the idea. I know it sounds romantic and glorious when you are 20 years old or
so, but I hope everyone who thinks they are ready to go, really is.

I don't like it. Let's go all the way and make bringing the crew back safely
part of the challenge. It will be more rewarding because it's more difficult.

 _"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal,
before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him
safely to Earth."_

 _"We choose to go to the moon in this decade, and do the other things -- not
because they are easy; but because they are hard; because that goal will serve
to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills; because that
challenge is one that we're willing to accept; one we are unwilling to
postpone, and one we intend to win -- and the others, too."_

It's interesting, we used to have to bring people back to do our exploration,
but in some ways thanks to high-quality video that need is less and less.

If you think of society as a single entity then the notion of 'bringing people
back' doesn't have as much meaning as it used to. We don't need martian
resources (other than the space) and anything else is a souvenir. People had
to go and come back from the Americas because of the lack of video (no other
way to see it) and
