MORE TRAVEL

Gentle Reader, how cool would it be to travel to an extraterrestrial planet.  It would be so cool to stand on the soil of Mars.  Of course, humanity doesn't have the money nor the technology to terraform Mars so that humans could live on it.  However, since Mars has water and a thin human style atmosphere, Mars is easier to build colonies on in comparison to the Moon.  Plus, without any spotted owls in sight, there's no environmental concerns when overbuilding like crazy.  Of course, forest preserves will need to be built on Mars anyway.  Not only for aesthetics, but because carbon dioxide outnumbers oxygen on Mars.  Lots and lots and lots of planets will be needed to even out the imbalance.  Of course, without either money or technology, the human race is nowhere close to putting a United States colony on Mars.  However, it's something the United States will have to do eventually.  I mean, come on, how many red blooded United States residents actually want THE RUSSIANS to grab 100% of Mars soil only for themselves.  Oh come on, Mars won't become 100% Russian.  I mean, there's United States of America robot rovers still rusting away over there.  Still, Russia won't mind using some of those Mars Robot Rovers as a hat stand if all the red blooded United States residents won't fight for 100% control of Mars only for itself. 
Gentle Reader, look at me.  I just instigated a war between the United States of America and Russia over who will have 100% control over Mars. 
As I'm lost in thought about the planet Mars, here are some photos of film and television actress Brea Grant.
