Pioneering in the
21st Century
Imagine:
Living in a place where there is no crowding.
Where there are mountains you could be the first to
climb.
Where there is no crime.
Where there are no traffic jams
Where you work from where you live.
Where you don’t need money or a credit card.
Where you don’t have to pay taxes!!
Where the only artificial sounds are the ones you make.
Where you don’t have to worry about being flooded or
wildfires.
Where you needn’t worry about getting a sunburn.
Where you never have to worry about bugs biting you.
Where there is no pollution, or disease, or garbage.
Where you can feel light as a feather.
Where the winters are a year long.
Where the outdoor temperatures averages about -80°F
Where the sun is small and weak.
Where winds and sandstorms blow for months at a time
Where everything-even the sky-is red.
Where there are no cities, no restaurants,no highways.
Where there is no television, no internet, no movies.
Where you can never go outside wearing anything other
than a spacesuit.
Where you live with a few other people who you may not
like.
Where you will be working non-stop just to survive.
Where it takes 8 months for a delivery of anything.
Where there are no mechanics or surgeons.
Where you will by necessity be a vegetarian
Where you will never be able to eat a steak.
Where you will never be able to have a pet.
Where you are bathed constantly in cosmic radiation.
Where you can’t quit your job and go back home.
Where there is no life whatsoever.
Where there is no liquid water.
Where there is no oxygen.
This is what life on Mars will be like.
This is what life on Mars will be like.

This blog is for me. If I have offended you, that is unfortunate, but my ranting is possibly caused by someone just like you. I am not going to apologize for what I see is a problem. If you do not like what I I write, you do not have to read it. Trolls and piggybackers comments will be deleted without mercy.
