I think we need a space elevator. Then we can really get rolling with the space exploration.

Blow up the moon!

Then we have massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and no major oceanic tides! Disaster!
And do you know how much force it would take to blow the moon into Mars! OUCH.

Besides... the Chinese are only planning unmanned probes... Some reports say the US is talking about a permanent presence, possibly at least partially military in nature.

Communist probes v manned military base. I think Capitalism wins again!

Has to be a negative one in every group.

What are you talking about man? All we need to do is store our radioactive waste on the dark side of the moon, and the ensuing accidental explosion will surely catipult the thing not only to mars, but to the other side of the galaxy! Just think about the whacky adventures that the commander of Luna-one, our first moon base, will have!

and that was all over FOUR YEARS AGO!

...says the one who started it - and doesn't want to stop it now?

I took his post as being comical in nature in reference to my not wanting to go along with the suggestion of destroying the moon and Mars.

Thus the nice

at the end.

The comment was directed to Cyrien, not you Roanon and it was meant as a joke. After all we are talking about boosting our only moon into Mars or into bits and pieces. As I said right before that post lets stop this pointless debate, let�s all agree to disagree, thanks for the private message though.

FYI it was not I that posted it was a war for freedom [Loser I think], I asked to show a little respect and not refer to oil/money and the cost of lives, in this the Last few weeks I have to spend with a wife of over a decade and three kids before she leaves for the Iraq theater for a year.

Ok so you want to be negative about it, is this idea better? We blow the moon into Mars (two birds one stone) then tow Europa into orbit to replace our missing moon and we can declare it a game reserve and charge ten bucks a head to go ice fishing, which will recoup the money spent to bLast it in the first place. Better? Of course that does not make up for the bLasted Mars, but no one is perfect.
