We are going to Mars

I think this wonderful. We haven't been to a new celestial body since 1969. This is a brave new step and will allow the greatest country on earth to lead once again.

Stephen hawking once said that man's future -- if we are to continue to exist as a species -- lay in space travel and colonization. I agree.

Let's plant the flag on Martian soil and claim the red planet for the United States and humanity.

Do you think we'll eventually colonize the red planet?

Do you think this will make America an enthusiastic forward looking nation?

Will we all gather to watch on TV as mankind takes another giant leap?

I'd rather stick to earth if we had to bring the "white race" into everything.

Yes, of course we're going to colonize Mars eventually.

Except for Humanity as a whole. Not whatever genetic aesthetics you happen to prefer.

Although if we were to do so, it should be gingers. It is the Red planet after all.

A little slow they are, when there were Mars initiatives from private organizations since the early 2000s.

Otherwise, the final frontier awaits! I hope to retire to Mars by at least 2060, so I hope they hurry up.

I really hope that the first person to step foot on mars is a black man. Actually I really hope for the whole team of astronauts to be all non-whites.

Good, it just means the White Race can be the first ones up close and personal with any hidden Martian lifeforms, up to and including microbes and parasites that can do things horror movies and video games can only imagine.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Then I'm sure you'll be ecstatic when it turns out to be the People's Republic of China.

Well, realistically, as the alternative most likely to have a team with no whites on it at all. There are advantages to having such a large economy in total size.
