Don't let the door hit you on the ass, bucko.  Back to your 'safe
space' where free expression means you saying whatever you like and
everyone else being "ad hominem" if they disagree.

Oh, we do have the technology, just not enough money in the world to pay
for most of those starry eyed dreams of the space cadets.

We already have a picture of a golf ball being hit on the Moon and don't
really need one from Mars.

Yeah, right, says the starry eyed space cadet that thinks an off planet
real colony with families and kids that is anywhere near survivable
without constant resupply will cost less than many trillions of dollars
and that anyone would ever be billing to pony up the money to build one.

On top of that, the space cadet likely believes that sane people, including
female sane people, would want to migrate to one.

People migrate to better their lives, not to live in a pressurized tin can.

Could you offer Martian colonists their own plot of land?

Nope.

Could you offer Martian colonists high pay?

Possibly, but what would they do with it? They can't buy a bigger house,
a luxury car, a boat, a plane, a RV, a OHV, a beach house, a mountain
cabin, or likely not even a swimming pool. They can't take trips to Paris
or Hawaii. The could do none of the things people normally do with wealth.

Most everyone that was foolish enough to go would screaming to get off
the lifeless, airless rock before very long. The gays and the anti-social
types might stay.

The only thing that is going to ever exist off the Earth is military
outposts and research stations.

Some larger installations may have a small number of civilians around
to provide bars and hookers and such, but no regular families and no
kids playing in what would pass for a street.

Ever heard of Elon Musk?  He's another one of us 'space cadets' who
thinks he can colonize Mars.  But he's never actually built anything
or met a schedule.  Well, nothing but ZIP2, Paypal, SpaceX, Tesla,
SolarCity...

No colony ever has better living than home, so I guess you just
'proved' that no one will ever colonize anywhere, at any time.

Elon Musk disagrees with you and he's spending his own money on
initial designs.  But he's just another space cadet who's never done
anything real, right?

Perhaps if Tesla ever starts making a profit, Musk could pay for it all.

Total utter, and complete nonsense showing no understanding of history
at all.

In fact it is so blazingly stupid I'm not going to bother with a rebuttal.

I would never go to such a place.

FYI I was offered, and turned down, a stint at the DEW line for huge
bucks way back when, and that was for less than two years, including
travel time.

I could care less what someone else does with their money. 
 
And establishing a real colony on Mars would require many years of the
worlds total gross domestic product.

Yet another blazingly stupid question.

Economically the decision meant I had to work while getting a degree
as opposed to living off the DEW line money.

It is actually irrelevant as there will hardly be anyone willing to live
their life in a pressurized tin can breathing recycled air and drinking
recycled water, especially female ones.

So we have you insisting it's just not possible without 'Star Trek'
technology (for no known reason other than you say so), that maybe it
is possible but it will take all the money in the world (for no known
reason other than you say so), or that maybe it's both possible and
affordable but nobody would go (for no known reason other than you say
so).

What we really know from your interminable expositions is that YOU
can't figure out how to make it work, that YOU can't afford it, and
that YOU wouldn't go.

Back to your cave, Chimp, while better men than you build the future
for you.

Does the phrase "escape religious persecution" mean anything to you?

Does the phrase "own your own farm and not be a serf" mean anything to you?

You have no clue as to my economic status, space cadet.

I still concider it the correct decision.

You however, may prefer to spend months in an isolated, barren location
in all male company.

There is a diffenece between not possible and no one wanting to do it,
space cadet.

Live my life on a barren, airless rock with nothing to do other than
look out a port hole at a landscape that hasn't changed in millions
of years? 

No thank you.

> Back to your cave, Chimp, while better men than you build the future

The closest thing I have to a cave is the hanger where my airplane is
kept, space cadet.

And there is yet another reason for not wanting to live on a barren,
lifeless rock; no chance to spend $200 in fuel just to fly to an
airport to eat a hamburger, see other airpanes and talk airplanes with
new people.

You've already said that asking you how many billion dollars or how
many million dollars you have are stupid questions.  That seems to
take you down to hundreds of thousands, then, at best.

your opinion here is no surprise.

That rather depends on the pay and duration.  You know, you seem

with your penis?

And a century ago you'd have been railing against airplanes as a total
waste of money and talking about how they'd never catch on.

So where is Musk's space port?

At a projected cost of $50 million that would be chump change for him.

Only that you are too blind to understand human motivations.

So you are denying that escaping religious persecution and owning your own
farm as opposed to being a serf wasn't a better life goal for colonists?

Non sequitur.

How much money I have has nothing to do with anything space related other
than the tax dollers I pay as I would not willingly finance it no matter
how much I had.

For Mars, that duration would be lifes and for the DEW line it was a bit
short of two years, and no, I am not willing to spend years without female
company.

You on the other hand seem to have no clue that roughly half the population
is women or that women have been putting diapers on babies since long
before Pampers were invented.

Nope, I would have been building them, space cadet.

If it were possible to build my own space ship, I would be doing that
too, but that is a childish dream and I grew up and figured out most
of the stuff in those movies is make believe.

You don't read English, do you?  And I see we're back to Jimp The
Chimp's Instant Colony approach.

Chimp Hint:  First you design the vehicles and mission architecture.
This is where they are now.  This is where you start getting cost
numbers.  Has the chimp ever built anything?

Please read the words I actually write.  I know it's hard for you.

You think people can't come back from Mars?  The vehicles are coming
back from Mars empty.  Hell, Musk is planning on offering free return
trips.

You on the other hand seem to have no clue that back in those days

How things 'seem' to you is a local problem, but reality doesn't seem
to get past the swarm of flies buzzing around your head.

Sure you would, Chimp.  Sure you would.  You'd have defended wagons
back in the day because that newfangled horseless carriage thing was
something out of scifi, cost too much, and could never be made to be
reliable like a horse.  Same with airplanes.  In fact, same with
pretty much any advance.  So you just trudge on back to your cave and
let better men build the future, chimp.

Yet there are people doing precisely what you claim is only make
believe.  Like Elon Musk.

So you keep being 'adult', chimp...
