    I've seen a bunch of these theory's and ideas about going to Mars, and I think it could probably be done. But I wouldn't wanna be the one taking the trip. You might as well be honored as a dead person when you leave. I really don't think scientist could find a way to get anybody back. I mean think about what it takes just to get into space. On Mars, you'd be dealing with more gravity, you'd have to have a way of building a launch pad on mars, getting the fuel down safely to fuel the rocket, and then making the long trek back to Earth with the supplies you have. I don't think we'll see that kind of technology... it's not impossible, just not in our lifetime.
