Discussion
Here is a pod cast and to be honest I can't agree more about why we shouldn't go to the red planet.

Also, posting a link to a half hour audio programme and saying 'I agree' is the height of laziness. If you want to discuss anything raised in there, you're going to have to do the work and pull out the bits that you think are worthy of debate.
That’s what a Scientist has to do, hungry for knowledge and critically think and review evidence which my friend is not apparent in most of these sudo Science postings. It takes effort thought and insite. If I repeated part of an argument of why I support the view I would get just as much abuse as I getting now which reflects the ignorance of the issues.

Ignorance is no excuse for abuse. It was posted to debate a valid and alternative view. I did not ask YOu to debate with ME but around the podcast where Scientists yup real Sientists putthier case forward. Clearly it’s too much to expect a reasoned balanced response. The Wookie said:

+1 I’d rather attempt a reasoned debate with my Mum about her motorway lane disciplineToaster said:

So why have you posted an opinion piece?

"Jems"? "sudo"? "insite"?

It's a guardian podcast where one contributor is "a contributor to the guardian who blogs about mars". It's hardly Hawking vs Elon Musk.My null hypothesis is that listening to it would be a waste of time. That you have read it and were not inspired enough to at least bullet point the top 3 discussion points supports that view. It's not ignorance to spend your time in the way that you expect to be best use of it.

You will see if I had bulleted it I would have been flamed, so I tried self discovery for those with inquisitive open minds clearly it’s the anti Science forum with individuals wishing to be spoon fed.

Oh in case you havent been in touch with news Hawkin is dead and Musk’s posts are a bit
