> Musk seems to be ignoring the fact that getting there is the easy part.

I saw a talk given by a NASA program manager in DC. She said that whenever this topic comes up, there's always somebody who starts seriously considering one-way missions to Mars.

Those guys have such fun at their jobs.




The last time the topic was raised, at least several hundred people volunteered.
