I like your avatar ...I agree stepping on Mars would be a bigger thrill than reaching the summit of Everest. But I would take more satisfaction in beating the physical exhaustion throughout the journey up and down the mountain over imagining myself bored on the long way to and especially back from Mars. Heck I'd take driving in a stock car or Indy auto race over space travel.

Can I copy it to my vault?
It's a like a rest stop on the highway. Pull in. Pee pee, have a picnic and then head back out to beetle juice.We need to establish a permanent presence on the moon first before attempting any of the other spectacular waste of resources and money.
What is the purpose of a lunar space station
As in most things space related, it was the USAWhat is the purpose of a lunar space station
And who was the first on the Moon - Americans or Russians?
Not for me to say, for image source google "hayseed" then slick on images to get a good copy.
then explain how my Dad could drink 1/2 a pot of coffee, fill a Heinz ketchup bottle with more coffee, drive from Northern Illinois to Southern Arkansas and not need to stop except for gas.My Dad drank coffee so he wouldn't need to pee, like a manly man.I always kept the empty beer bottles to pee in while traveling...it's called math.Now Two Thumbs, if a light year is meaningless and cannot be referanced, then how did you come up with the miles?
Selivan, why do you think that you know enough to say anything like that? I suspect what you know in physics will compare to the physics of a hundred years from now about the same as what a neolithic hunter knew of transistors.
crap, now I have to figure out if I remembered right
A light year is 5,878,625,373,183.6 miles
and it's 4.2 light years away
carry the one
My Dad would probably stop twice to pee, so really really far away.
you can't visualize a light year, you have no concept or point of reference. so the idea of travelling there is absurd.
Coffee and beer are natural diuretics.
Its closer to the Earth and therefore easier to supply and export resources back to earth.We need to establish a permanent presence on the moon first before attempting any of the other spectacular waste of resources and money.

Not to mention the pockets of it in space...Its closer to the Earth and therefore easier to supply and export resources back to earth. If we can set up a manufacturing base on Mars it will be cheaper to build exploration vehicles. The moon has less gravity than Earth.We need to establish a permanent presence on the moon first before attempting any of the other spectacular waste of resources and money.

Helium 3 maybe the key to Nuclear Fusion, the Moon literally has the stuff just lying around.

But I always wanted to see Uranus
A real cowboy permanently drinks whiskey from a bottle, smokes a cigar and, necessarily, puts his feet on the table.
We are ready when we have the means to do it. And that is right now.Seriously, landing on mars, europa, io or Titan would be the biggest event of anyones fucking life. It would put you in the goddamn history book and would be truly something to remember for the rest of your life.
It would be far bigger then climbing Everest or anything you could do on this planet
Yes, but like all exploration for humanity it always turn into some type of conquest and lives are lost.
So I am for exploring when we are ready...
First, the solar system. Then we can worry about interstellar space. By then, we may know more about the physics of this universe than we do today.No "flights into space" will not ...
Forget ...
This is not necessary for Humanity, until we disassemble the "General Theory of Relativity of Einstein" ...
There is no solution to this problem.

So said "Grandfather Lenin" ...
He was right !
OK, I have a totally different viewpoint. I really don't care for the thrill of being on top of a mountain. However, if there is the need for a seismograph on top of that mountain, that it is a different matter. And going to Mars would not be for the thrill of stepping on Mars for me, but for the thrill of studying a geology that did not develop on Earth. And learning the Geological and, possibly, Biological developmental history of another planet.I agree stepping on Mars would be a bigger thrill than reaching the summit of Everest.
