I do not understand why there is an effort to launch a space vehicle to Mars with humans on board. At the present time there is little to gain from such an expensive project other than bragging rights among the Earth’s inhabitants. With the advanced technologies that exist, and are emerging, would it not be less expensive to take the human element and its’ requirements for life support out of the project for the time being and let the machinery and electronics accomplish the mission?
Look at all the hoops one must jump though to retrieve a coupon at the grocery store, get a few cents off on a gallon of fuel for your vehicle, or get discounts on just about anything the consumer needs or wants. Big data allows marketing to dictate what any company is trying to sell you. Amazon has done this so well with it the company gets us to watch their programming on TV, buy oodles of stuff, and now the company peddles its’ “Web Services” to other companies. Don’t get me started on Walmart. And, yet, both are among the many companies I patronize.
