I love this man.  His passion emanates. He's truly and honestly dedicated.

[Drackoe]

Yes, one of the few men alive with a true vision, a passion for it, the intellect to see it through and the resilience to never give up. He's nothing short than a personal hero.

[g0tcadaver]

A little exaggerative on the first view, but great nonetheless :D

Human dedication at it's best.

i think we need to realize that its not a priority for governments, and that we don't need the governments to do this. we need companies like spacex and men like zubrin and elon musk.

I'd like to see any country willing to spend the hundreds of billions neccessary to find, start, and expand a mars colony. In the future when technology provides a cheaper and faster route to mars, maybe. But until then I don't see any country rushing to do something with no immediate returns.

Not saying i dont want it to happen though. I'd like nothing more than to see a mars colony in my lifetime.

mars on life... by Mario Naples italy

The only thing that will make America go to Mars and now (In the next decade) is if someone else vows to get their first. If China declares they will put a man on mars by 2018 this is the factor that would force America to put a man on their first

Dr Zubrin. I watched your televised program on the Manned Mars Mission, and I think you are correct in that we should go to Mars. Like in the old days when the Russkies were going into space first, think of the panic, if a major country got to Mars first, and Earth was in trouble. Maybe there is another way to "stir things up" and have America desperate to get to Mars? I have an idea.
