you never know. i bet back in the 50's neil armstrongs parents told him he'd never get to the moon!!

that 'when we left earth' series has been something. those guys were nuts! you look at the old film of their 'state of the art' equipment--it looks like cardboard and tin foil.


and yeah, getting to mars will be a trick. the key is water. they had said before that if there was a way found to 'make' water on mars, they'd get all the equipment there to do so and generate plenty of water before trying to travel there. it sounds like an almost impossible task. who knows?? but if a guy ends up going, i'd love to see eric be the one! he's a throwback to explorers, he was born 500 years too late.
