Bah. "Mars One" was an unprofessional stunt. The existence of one
impractical plan does not prove the absence of practical plans.

And lack of CO2 on Mars? Where the atmosphere is almost pure CO2?
Ridiculous.

Agree on both points.

You probably haven't read the Acta Astronautica Jacob Navia cited to say
that.


True, I haven't read it. I went only by Jacob's description. I'm quite
willing to believe that the Acta Astronautica article is good and
correct in its critique of Mars One, but I don't believe Jacob's claim
that this proves that other plans for Mars habitation are impossible too.


You also have to take into account the yearly spacetime warp.


Huh? Missing smiley there?
