LOL. +1 for effort.
Not surprising coming from a Spursman. Far too far away from Lords, peasant!

I'll take you up on that. Whatever about the technical challenges, the money isn't there, nor is there any government willing to pony up the cash and risk the almost certain loss of life that will occur in getting to mars and back.
Don't get me wrong I'm very hopeful I am 100% wrong. I don't think I am though. We are further from Mars than in 1972. If you look at the percentage of lost unmanned mars probes over the years it is a very dicey endeavor. I'd sign up for crew in a jig were it not for having a family.
