Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I wouldn't be so sure.
Those guys have got LOTS of money!
They can bankroll it, with their name on the front.

It's just a publicity stunt.
Until they find a usable water supply on Mars, nobody will be able to live there. They couldn't carry enough extra fuel to blast off from there for a return journey or have enough materials to build shelters either and the solar radiation problem seems insoluble.

You can get around the radiation, just means you have to build your spacecraft in orbit and send up a bit at a time. Very expensive but as Jerry says, they have the money, at least until their oil runs out.
Getting back isn't an issue as there is no shortage of volunteers for a one-way trip.

Another article. More nonsense of course. An 'imitation of a martian city'. How do you imitate something that does not exist?

The UAE say they'll have it going in 2117 - I'll have to start eating healthier if I want to see that!

Yes - and that's unfortunately all Dubai is: a collection of imaginatively designed skyscrapers, shopping malls and golf courses, totally lacking in character or any semblance of culture. I hate the place.
