[@antonnym214]

I am glad NASA is working on this stuff, but we can trust them to do what they always do: slow-walk the discovery of anything interesting, like surface water, plant life, architecture, artifacts, and the like. The real pioneering work will be done by private companies such as SpaceX, Bigelow, and even Boeing. Hopefully these private companies will be incentivized to tell the truth about what is up there, and that will foster excitement and involvement from the Earth citizens. Nice video. All good wishes.

What we're all looking for is evidence that can't be debated, that is 100% proof that all of science will recognize. Do I believe it's there, absolutely 100% - but sorry I don't just take things with barely any evidence. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and that we don't have yet.

Living on Mars will be the most terrible experience any human could endure. More difficult than anything imaginable, worse than any hard rock chain gang in any prison on earth.

[@johnhagan8775]

Mid 2030's for a human on Mars? That's silly. They just showed Curiosity using "cameras, lasers, and sensors" and collecting samples. What will a human do? Use cameras, lasers, and sensors, and collect samples. Except that humans need air, water, food, and protection from the interplanetary environment. Never mind the additional complexity that will cost 100 times more than a robotic mission, the additional weight would make launch incredibly difficult. It makes no sense to rush to get a human on Mars when they'll use exactly the same instruments to do exactly the same things as a robotic craft.
