Quote of the Day: Conquering the Solar System

It's not going to be a vacation jaunt. You will need to recreate an entire industrial base on Mars, with mining and refining a variety of different materials in a difficult environment. No trees. No oxygen or nitrogen. No oil. But if we can establish a Mars colony, we will almost certainly extend ourselves throughout the Solar System. In order to make the Mars thing work, and to become a multi-planet civilization, we will need to have babies in space. And I am prepared to provide several hundred gallons of my own semen for use in future colonization efforts.
