Biowhen you get sick of tired of waiting for the Future you want to arrive you kinda have to just go out there and start making it yourself, you dig.. I mean, I can't summon aliens (yet) but that doesn't mean much.
The secret truth is that there's *a lot* more that can be done with current technology than you see on the ground.
As good ole' Cory Doctorow sez, you've gotta brute-force the problem space, and we're at like maybe 5-10%.
I mean, jesus, we went to the Moon with something less sophisticated than a car today. Forget that, half the world was settled by people rocking around on little boats with a few pigs and chickens.
There's just a lack of fucking ballz in the world today.
Mars is just a proof-of-concept. I will wager you half a liver that 10-20 motivated people could do it themselves within 10years.
Breaks the lies. There's no limits any more.
