forget that stuff,

how are they going to get all the furnature up there ? like the chairs,
beds, tables, desks, monitors, computers, sterios, stoves ?

you cant use a bucket for all that, and there is no IKIA nearby.

You are losing it and getting silly.

yep, I have been doing increadably boring spreadsheets the past week.

Of course you can haul all the crap to Mars.

If it is too big or too heavy to go as one piece you send it in pieces.

Most preassembled furniture is shipped to the stores in pieces and
assembled in the store.

IKEA has that down to an art, light weight furnature, fits fine in
shipping containers. On Mars besides furnature, they could be turned
into charcoal to coke to make the steel...
