That was a doozy. I still haven't recovered. Better have another beer. For the record I googled everything, all of them. If there was a doubt.
They have a good idea on some of the tech that would be needed, but the main goal is survival over the long haul. We know more about prolonged solar radiation now then we did in the 50's through the 70s, bit still not enough to ensure survival over the long haul. With advances in energy conversion from water to a fuel source and creating alternate sources of energy, designing a vehicle around those parameters wouldn't take too long, depending on funding. I'll wager a bet Gav...we will have not only a person on mars, but also back to earth before 2036 or I'll owe you a case of beer![]()

Dealing with the other bodily effects (muscle atrophy, etc.) over the trip is another biggie, but I think it's pretty likely to happen within my lifetime. 2030s seems reasonable.

Bone density loss though is a tough one. If they can stop that we may be able to cure/prevent osteoperosis.
And this is why the people who whine about the amount on money we spent on NASA are short-sighted.
Well why would Norway spend money on NASA?
Lol I even picked the easy ones. Maybe in a few more months I'll do another on around a different subject.
Any chance you could put together some questions for a contest about:
3. '80s bands ( preferably iron maiden, acdc, Metallica, Judas Priest)

We barely spend anything on NASA. It's a shame how much we spend, actually.
Indeed...drop in the bucket. Yet talk to some people and you'd think it was running our economy into the ground. But, that's Debate Room fodder, and I'm not feeling it tonight.
ACDC sux. Sub in T4F.
Any chance you could put together some questions for a contest about:
1. The Green Bay Packers
2. Hayward, WI
3. '80s bands ( preferably iron maiden, acdc, Metallica, Judas Priest)
4. Counting jelly beans
5. Beer
Just a couple of ideas, pm me if you need any more suggestions
or the best ones to come outa Philly...
G love and special sauce trivia pursuit?
was thinking
"Dizzy" Dean's first band....

80s theme in full effect. Running Man on loop on the tv behind the bar.
My wife told me once upon a time that she wanted to see the hunger games at tge movies. I told her we should watch running man instead. She asked me what that was....we didn't speak for three days after that.
