Wouldn't they need to send a lifetime supply of food, water and oxygen and power support gear strong enough to run it all? We spend billions just to send little rovers with a 90 day mission each with very limited abilities. People are totally tossing their cash away. If they really want to live in hell for the rest of their lives, send them to siberia away from all other civilization... cheaper, food, water, air and fuel amply available.
The people paying music be rich idiots. But most of the REALLY rich people I know actually ARE idiots. They are exceptional at one thing that made them rich, but in the rest of their life they lack common sense and most other essential mental functioning to live smart.

This is a rough sketch of the plan. --- Subject to modification, of course They think there is enough water (or ice) available in the soil and at the poles to be extracted. Almost all water will be recycled so not a tremendous amount needed Oxygen would be produced by splitting water into its parts of hydrogen and oxygen Food would be produced by intense hydroponic units. They only envision a 4 man team of astronaute to start, followed by 2 more 4 man teams, so no large amounts of anything needed OH yeah, The living units would be covered by a heavy layer of soil to help shield for radiation Power to be from solar power As I say, they're still working out the details Cost of the peoject, about 6 billion $ I think mining may be envisioned

if life's not there yet
humanity's on the way
if there is, they're dead
Did make an official submission, but I'll be darned if I remember
Definitely not as cynical and curmudgeony
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

Now they say that haiku doesn't really have a plural form, that the plural of haiku is haiku, however,never having got much schoolin' I figured they couldn't expect me to know "That" so I'd pluralize it anyway which most folks do and some say that's OK, and it's certainly OK with ME ( bet that's a "run on" sentence

So haiku is/are like deer, elk, fish, bear, antelope, and grits? Never thought they were something you could eat (though I have heard about "eating your words").
