Any expedition sent to either place would be designed for return capability. If "something went wrong", which place would be better depends on what the "something" is. Don't think of the Moon as somehow being a hop,skip, and a jump. It's still a hell of a long way away through a hell of a lot of vacuum. It _is_ a hop compared to Mars. If you had the means, you could at least rescue the crew if something went wrong on the Moon that didn't totally destroy the ship.. "Mission to Mars" notwithstanding, anyone on Mars is on their own. |
