Just thought this was interesting and proof that we are able to go to Mars: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15574646
Well it will take 5 years to get there, and then there is staying there, and then coming back which takes another 5 years. so thats 11 years and now we add in expenses which is a fucking alot. Really if he left right now at my age of 15 they wouldn't get back until i was 26 i would be done with college by then. I would be very supriced if we landed on mars before 2040. We need to colonize sister Luna tough.
