I upvoted you because it's a fair question, but I would argue it is easier to criticize than to offer solutions.
What other solar system destination would you propose instead? It's not like we have a lot of convenient alternatives to choose from.
I'd rather visit Mars than Venus, that's for sure.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoVenus is great! Come visit! Stay at the beautiful Hyatt Floating Resort! It's got everything you want - Earth temperature and pressure, lots of solar energy to power your every whim, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Just don't visit the surface. It's really, really nasty down there.
- idlewords 4y agoWe can visit everything for much less than the price of Mars if we drop the requirement to send people. There's cool stuff in the solar system and the future where you can flip between live feeds from every moon is much more fun than watching space dads sit in a radiation shelter on Mars for 17 months.
