    I wouldn't be surprised if certain people started screaming about it being "racist, homophobic, islamophobic, or some other silly shit."

    No problem. I like the concepts for alternative launch systems and it would be great if some became viable.

    My current favorite alternative system would be the proposal to use large, hydrogen-powered cannons, but those would have certain limitations even if they were built.

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    The usual coterie of SJW losers have been concern trolling the New Space industry under the guise of criticizing economic inequality for awhile now.

    As always, they're just on the hunt for an easy payday.

    At least the primary focus of NASA is no longer "muslim outreach".

    Don't want to go through something written by the pompous NDT, but based on what Justin was quoting, one of the things that stuck in my craw was the whole "No one will want to live there" quote. Apparently he never heard of Mars One. Sadly, it seems to have crumbled, but the idea was that they would send a few people on a one-way trip to Mars to begin the process of setting things up, similar to the Pilgrims of old. They had a huge interest for just a few slots. There are lots of people, myself included, who would jump at the opportunity if presented.

    I pretty much wrote Mars One off as soon as I looked at who was in charge and on their BOD, and they had basically no one with aerospace experience.

    That said, you're right, the response to their call for volunteers was enormous, and I expect that any attempt to open up Mars to settlement will not lack for takers.
