ABC's Catalyst - Story on Living on Mars.

ABC's Catalyst - Story on Living on Mars.

Recorded off ABQ12 - TX Date: 04-10-2007.

People have been dreaming of setting foot on Mars for centuries, and NASA has been given the go-ahead to plan for such an expedition. Of course, weve been to the Moon already but a journey to Mars will be much more difficult. Getting there and back will take years and astronauts will have to live off the land on the red planet. For example, theyll grow their own food, make oxygen from the carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere and even manufacture fuel for their return trip to Earth. Yet, despite all these challenges, there could be a human presence on Mars within 20 to 30 years.

We have to do away with the corrupt money system if we going to Mars. The lack of money is holding us back technologically. And humans need to work together on this. No one group has all the knowledge. The more brains we have working on solutions the greater the probability that we will be able to live on Mars.

These guys seem to not mind plagiarizing Zubrin's Mar's Direct plan.

Sad, but that is the stark truth. Without an incentive of needing to reach Mars, no one of us will ever want to go there.
