I'm assuming this is an Irish mission to colonise Mars. I doubt anyone else would be interested that type of thing.

The British went to some trouble to colonise Tyrone, so you wouldn't know.

Any sign of life?

Yes, they all dress a bit like the TV series and drive souped up Cortinas.

Will Mars compete in Leinster?

Also I think it would be a long way to go for a league match. What's a wet weekend on Mars like? Would it be as bad as the Hyde?

There could be a few logistical problems:

How would the Rossies get there on the bus?
Mayo players wouldn't be happy with unnecessary detours via the moon.
Would Mars wear red against the rebels?
Would there be any atmosphere when they play weaker teams?
Would the AIF become War of the Worlds?

Imagine, just imagine the absolute hype/terror/speculation if it beamed back pictures of a little green dude (I'm sure we'll not know if they did).

It might even knock covid off the news headlines.

It doesnt look much different from the centre of Australia.

We're probably a few million years too late to find life forms on Mars.

They've found traces of Covid though, but blaming the Russians. Pesky westerners

Interesting question. Are there not outfits trying to do each?

I think once there, the frozen water and CO2 atmosphere which could be harnessed to produce oxygen makes water and breathable air easier to produce on Mars.

No clue as to the overall, relative ease of each. Maybe Mars is easier, technically, while the moon is, obviously, much more accessible.

You're just a bullshitter trying to look liberal and pretend gay astronauts are normal. But what happens if your son comes home and tells you he wants to be the first transsexual astronaut? Hah? See? Now! QED.

Somehow, amazingly, this has ended up being a relatively accurate prediction of wider public discourse in 2021

Which bit? The breathable air or transgender/transsexual astronaut

If the financial and technical resources are sufficient now to send these Rovers to Mars ( 2.7 billion ) surely there is an argument for sending such an exhibition into larne just for a look around.
