That would be an interesting idea.

Unfortunately I'll probably miss this one too. That would be an incredible accomplishment though. Setting up a moon base would be an accomplishment on par with, if not great than, the I.S.S.

I had forgotten about that. At least we have some proper planning.

That is true. If we had an efficient way to transport them, we could power outposts using materials from Earth. We could also get more through astroid mining. Personally I think trying to colonize Mars in the next 100 years would be a bad idea. We should start with an easier project like the moon.

Problem with that is that Mars is devoid of heavy radioactive elements like uranium-235 that would power the reactors.

You should make NASA work for you.
