The most dubious part is the moon; which we allegedly landed on over 50 years ago is uninhabited, full of plot holes, combined with Cold War 1960s propaganda and never proven? Why can't we just do the 3 day flight and go there to deal with human life in a non oxygen environment with zero gravity?
Why are we obsessing with Mars? It's an 8 month flight.
Build the moon base and prove it's even remotely possible, train people and then go on this unimaginable 8 month flight to Mars.
Why?
It's 3 days away by spacecraft to the moon. Easy.
Yet, we have no training base there to experiment with life outside of Earth.
Mars is 8 months away by spacecraft.
A formidable and treacherous journey. Why don't we just send some craft to the moon and make a training facility for space travel?
Why do they talk about Mars when we can't even make a modern day space landing and moon base??
