Why not both? (:
There are certainly pros and cons of both options, perhaps I'll write an article on moon vs mars colonization.
Any suggested input?
So you are really asking why you would not go to both the moon and mars?
I absolutely am.
I'm not as gung-ho colonize Mars as many people are. I think there are better options of which the moon is included in, but everyone is focused on Mars & I'd still love to see them succeed.
Why would you go to somewhere that is 140 million miles instead of 238,900 miles? That is a difference of 580 trips vs 1.
At this point you might as well say "colonize the moon, that one asteroid and everything else, because, mars". It makes NO SENSE. No, asking me why not doesn't make it any more rational. Ever.
Fair enough. There are many other factors in which Mars is better and the moon is worse, or vice versa. That is a good point though. It is far as hell.
Thanks.
