Thing is, we have the technology needed to get to Mars. It's basically just an upscaled version of the Lunar missions. But we don't yet know how people will cope with the trip, especially since it will be one-way only.

It's really just a question of will and funding. But since America is currently completely obsessed with profit and riddled with an anti-science attitude, I doubt that funding will come through any time soon.


This is more or less my view on an issue like this.

What nation was not?

Other nations were racist, I'm not kidding myself, but Rhodesia literally wanted its independence to avoid having Africans in their government. It's like being proud of the CSA.

Radiation is a big problem. We require better shielding and ways of getting there faster in order to reduce exposure to acceptable levels.

America? Not particularly. I wouldn't betray it of course, or root for someone else to beat it, but overall I have no passion for this country.

Jealousy.

Most people would like to be the big kid, or the rich kid, or the boss, whoever appears to be on top.

If that's the way you think most Americans think, you've spent too much time watching fox news and not near enough time talking to real life Americans.

It's 95 every singal day stand out side for a Minute and you got the hold damn nile tiger in you'r shirt. And it's humid. This has been my experience in America and America always fighting other wars that arnt there's. It's just stupid and the whole thing saying we need to invade Syria! Seriously???????????????? FSA is 75% Al-Qeada! I just can't take this nation Canada is America #2 I get it but it's better more neutral and also is so beautiful it's Tundras and Steppes and Forressts and Mountians and can actually have 4 seasons. Omg makes me wanna cry that I'm not there.

As a Texan, I feel for you, and truthfully never much liked "Dixie" but the USA has a HUGE portion of the entire continent! Head northwestward, the weather can be pretty nice. Can't help you on your political views though.

Oh, some sure.

Very few Americans however go around stating how they're better than Italians or the Japanese or whoever.

The only really odd thing that Americans seem to frequently do is say they live in the greatest country on earth. That's not a statement about themselves, but about the place in which they live.

It's also very odd and grating. Lewis Black even commented on it.
