Of course you are.Private industry and foreign nations can do anything they want with their money & with my blessing & I am positive everyone else feels the same way.Agreed...again. Just as I did earlier. Now, explain to me why are you against Musk and other nations from going? You know, the question you dodged earlier with a "you don't get it"?I get to comment on how my tax dollar is spentYou still don't have to go. Why do you want to ban people from going?The surface of Mars is a hostile environment. One major storm or earthquake could wipe out our feeble colonyYou don't get it, one big rock and we're done.
Why not do both? Again, why do you insist what others choose to do? I can see why, as a taxpayer, you are against spending money on science, but why stop people like Musk or foreign governments from sending manned missions off-planet?Why not just set up a colony on the bottom of the ocean. It is just as desolate and we cannot leave the security of our shelters and go for a walkSmart people have the chance to leave the planet leaving all of the dumbasses behind.Then what value do we get that can't be performed by a unmanned rovers?
Stroll around on a planet devastated by an impact event or supervolcano? What's to see?
Personally, I'm all for other nations getting out of the wagon and help pull & push.
