I am a proponent of landing humans on Mars. There is much heated debate whether it is possible to do so within a 10 year time frame. My interpretation of the NASA budget combined with nonsensical and selfish political motives lead me to believe that a manned mission to Mars will not really happen for at least 50 years, if slight luck were to even prevail.
I have been a long time follower of Robert Zubrin, along with many other humans-to-Mars supporters. Though I have a deep passion for astronomy, the search for ET and learning about everything space, I consider myself an amatuer/novice. Everything that is explained in The Mars Society Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) seems to make sense, thus I can agree to all of it, but I am curious as to what others think about the FAQ?
I would like to open this up for debate. Line by line, do you agree or dispute what the FAQ states, technologically and financially (please give reasons for your statements/opinions)?
