I'm there.
Well - not right now, but you get the idea.
Ever read Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy? ("Red Mars", "Green Mars", "Blue Mars")
An excellent set of stories. One space advocate (don't remember which one) said "These books should be required reading for the next generation of Mars astronauts"

Yeah, well I'm gonna build my own lunar space lander! With blackjack aaaaannd Hookers! Actually, forget the space lander, and the blackjack. Ahhhh forget the whole thing!Comment

I dunno.. it would suck to be sealed up in a can for two years drinking your own (and other's) recycled piss and shit. The longer time means increased risk of something going horribly wrong, too. And when you get there what's to see? A big desert full of red dirt. No thanks.Comment

You don't have to be stuck in a can for two years if the VASIMR engine is used. More like 2-3 months. NASA's investing heavily in it.

I think with mars<-> earth travel you have to go when the orbits are about right, so you ging to have to sit around for a while on mars anyway since there are no hotels on mars, a stinking little tin can is the best you will have...
I think its still well to early to do a manned mars misssion, but it is the tight time do a bunch of practice runs ...etcComment

If NASA and the other governments wait long enough they'll find Rutan's Tier Two crew sitting there when they arrive
