Setting up Shop on Mars
You may not remember learning how to walk, but most of us do learn this and it is not always so easy at all. You fall down a lot and if you're lucky, you'll have parents around to help you get up and start all over again. You take one step at a time, and darn it, you find yourself further along than when you started. This is one of life's great lessons and it can't be overestimated in importance!
Imagine - looking up at the planets and deciding to get on up there somehow and not quitting until you were there! Try jumping up three feet. Mars is 50 million to hundreds of mjllions of miles "up", depending on what year it is! There's no air up there either. Carbon dioxide atmosphere. Can't breathe it! So what? We're going to colonize it.
