Let's Move to Mars

First, they found water on Mars, now they're saying that the soil could support growth of, well in this article, asparagus. (Germans love asparagus, but they bury the plants so they're white, not green. Sorry for the digression.)

I remember reading that the difficulties in building a manned Mars explorer could be overcome by making the trip one-way. Apparently, the spaceship would have to be so big to carry more fuel for the return trip. Now one-way doesn't mean suicide...

Anyone care to join me? With a big enough antenna, I'm sure we could continue posting to the LoC from Mars after tending to the asparagus fields.

I added this link so Fungai won't complain. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/27/science/space/27MARS.html
