>just stop funding the militaryOh yes, just stop that thing which is literally one of the foundations of the current global regime. Yes, very feasible, please outline your plan for global regime change im very interested you have obviously thought this through.
Work with what you have. People get excited about mars, they don't get excited about 'basic research'. Just is, probably always will be.
Living on mars is just another 'basic research'. We don't know how it would turn out, do it anyway, we might learn something.
>You don't need Nasa to do thisvery true. But you need a strong state to allocate the money/ force businesses to invest in it.
I think the biggest thing going for mars is it would be cool to have people on mars. In the same way it was 'cool' to fly, before global aviation took off very few people thought it would have any effect.
