Good question! NASA's Artemis missions may be experiencing some COVID related delays. But that shouldn't mean the end of exploration. 100% of human colonization

Good question! NASA's Artemis missions may be experiencing some COVID related delays. But that shouldn't mean the end of exploration. 100% of human colonization will be simulated beforehand. Access as many Martian public datasets as possible. Begin answering the big questions. What resources can be utilized in situ? What will have to be transported from Earth?
I was really piqued by the news of ESA's BioAsteroid. Using genetically enhanced microbes for the biomining of precious metals in space. Has to be one of the most fascinating space science experiments in human history. And if successful, takes "The Genesis Project" out of the realm of speculative sci-fi, and into the abode of the possible ;)
