It could happen if they were willing to leave some behind to support the "Crusaders": Look at how much money the Scientologists bring in... Is there a secret "cause" that they are collecting $$$ for? Or maybe we are witnessing the birth of a new religous movement led by a guy named Zubrin.

Do the the Zubrins want to spread Zubrinannity to the Cosmos? Do they have visions of builing a shining city on a hill on Mars? Will it be named Zubrin City?

    - Try working backwards. Figure out what the minimum self-sustaining Mars colony would be like, and work from there to what it would require. - David F Mayer - 1/20/2004 9:14:39 PM
