I'll admit, 15 years ago I was very excited about the possibility that my future child could some day live on Mars... but despite all of the technical challenges and the costs and everything else associated with it, it's the fact that your air and water would be commonitites owned by a billionaire is what is going to keep me (and my family) firmly grounded on Earth.

i do hope that democracy prevails. of course, with fascism on the rise in the US today, it doesn't seem that way. though haven't always the most progressive countries in the world had the most democracy? and what could be more progressive than going to mars?
