What Infrastructure By The Way?

HLLV? You get that with a Mars Program

0g adaptian? You get that in LEO

Artificial gravity? You could get that with a Mars Program

Talented aerospace professionals? You get that with a Mars Program

Fuel manufacturing facilities and the ability to launch elsewhere? You could get that with a Mars Program or a Moon program. It's just a lot harder on the Moon.

Advanced life support?. You could get that with any manned program.

What is the magic infrastructure you are looking for Larry? I've not seen anything specific from you indicating this is more than one of your seemingly reasonable but ultimately baseless hand waves. There is nothing about infrastructure that you have ever raised that is not a reasonable outgrowth of a manned Mars program and no reason for going elsewhere that I thinks trumps the reasons for going to Mars.

Regards,
Mark
