Manned Mission to Mars in 2018

Was that the Horizon programme they did on it? I saw that too, very very interesting. If we had world governments all chipping in we could get there so much quicker. We always hear about governments not liking to fund science if a practical benefit can't be seen, so it's bizarre that this doesn't get more attention when it's virtually all practical benefit.

I think it was, yeah, with professor Jim Al-Khalili. It is bizarre that governments don't do more to back research into fusion, at least it is to logical human beings, but then governments are rarely logical and usually have hidden agendas and hidden masters who they serve.

So, the time's finally here.

Who is going to get their ass to Mars?
