One step backwards (Step zero)

Ed, I agree with you totally. However, This group is for those who do not
and I learned about 7 years ago that it is not wise or polite to try to
impose my wishes on some here. They kicked my butt.
The worse thing you could do is say they are wrong - because they are not.
They are just doing their own thing and that is how it should be.

I do not believe that they will gain what they want until Mars has a
population of at least 100 million but they can do good work and keep dreams
alive in the mean time. I could be wrong!

This is what they want and it is why they are here. It has been kinda
quite for several years because there is only so much planning that can be done.
Mostly we have been waiting for an affordable ride. Maybe it is here and
it is time to get back to some serious planning.
It has been the same in all of the different approaches to being in off
Earth space permanently - Living on Luna or Living on Mars and other places.
Living off Earth is a two handed operation - both must be done to be
successful.

What is done here can be used on Mars and on the trips to get to Mars and
the outer reaches. So, I hang around learning what they can teach me and
praying that they succeed and that what they do helps in getting me to Mars.

There are at least 7 or 8 serious groups of people who want to live on
Mars.

So, if you want to discuss getting to Mars there are other places you can
hang out and still learn from what is discussed here and maybe even help
them get done what they want.
Now I have a company called 1000 Planets, Inc and we have been studying and
researching on how to live on Mars for 8 years.

You want to live on Mars then go to the Yahoo group "Mars Living Now" and
start a conversation.
But do not leave this group because you will learn that they can help in
more ways than one can count and still do their own thing.

Thank You,

Sorry for a negative response on this one. With Salvaraj's approach
1607 & 1620 Jamestown & Plymouth Rock colonists would be advised
NO! NO! NO! Lets build a 100,000 pop. settlement in Canary Islands 1st !!!
THEN we can attempt crossing that wild Atlantic.

Any more Mars first advocates in group to back me up on this one?
