- dredmorbius 12y agoA manned Mars mission is within the grasp of existing technology (and has been for 40 years). Fusion power isn't. Mind that I'm not arguing for or against a manned mission to Mars. I don't think it would prove any tremendous benefits, though it would be most decidedly cool. I also believe that permanent or long-term Mars settlements are well beyond present technical capabilities. But the difference here is political will and financing. Not underlying technical viability.
