is going to the moon a good idea?
it will cost billions of tax dollars, might not even work, and surely the moon is something best left alone

technology hasn't progressed far enough for colonization of space yet, let alone enough to be self sustaining. Not sure what all the fuss about Mars is if they're completely reliant on Earth for basic resources/supplies.
Especially when things are strained enough on Earth as it is.
Assume we did send people to mars, and the overwhelming expense and political tension led to a collapse of governments & economies, and all support ceased...
What would these "colonists" accomplish other than taking a one way 8 month trip just to die shortly after arriving when they run out of supplies?
Sounds like the most expensive funeral in history...
