Space Restrictions

referring to the cheapest way to get a man to mars

Slashdot Poll:
"Allow adventurous idiots fly their themselves.

Remove all the restrictions on space travel and you'll get a lot more businesses and intrepid adventurers trying to make it to Mars for the sheer adventure and danger of it all! If they're not concerned about dying in their attempts, let them do it! We should quit trying to protect absolutely every single person to live to the ripe old age of 100, and just let those crazy enough to try to make it to Mars and back on their own dime go for it."

if someone rich enough were able to do it, how would anyone stop them? granted, governments would do stuph to try and impede the test flights. but seriously, if you can afford to send yourself to mars, you can afford to bribe whatever judge was trying to convict you.

and what restrictions could this guy be talking about? gravity? i'd like to remove that restriction... wait... no.

gravity = good.
