Isn't being a basement dwelling shut in already a nerd trope?

No need to go to Mars for that, heh.

The whole concept here is that we have hundreds of thousands of people who desperately want to live on Mars. You don't seem to be getting that in this comment thread. YES, we know it's cheaper to live on Earth.

We.

Don't.

Care.

We want to live on Mars. We will give anything to go live on Mars. It'll cost more. Yes. It'll be tougher. Yes.

We.

Don't.

Care.

We want to live on Mars.

I don't want to live there, but I sure as hell would love to spend some time there, how many people for the next 50 years will be able to say they have been to Mars?

I want to be one of the lucky ones.
