Spending a trillion dollars for putting a permanent base on mars would do wonders for this country. It would demonstrate our technological prowess to the rest of the world. It would unify the world as it did with Neil Armstrong and Apollo 11. It would help our economy. It spur innovation in technology. It would inspire a whole new generation of children to learn science, engineering, and math. It would further our understanding of our solar system. It would be the first tiny step in terraforming Mars. It would stop much of the public squabbling of our politicians. IT WOULD BE POSITIVE.
