Day (X-6): In a Giving Mood

With a new mansion on a private island, new car, etc., I must obviously have ludicrous amounts of money laying around.  So, in the spirit of the holiday season I figure it would only be appropriate of me to get whatever they want for all of my friends.

So, what is it you wish someone would give you?

I just want to be loved, is that so wrong?

Trip to Mars and back, with a comfortable stay of about two months.

Oh, now that’s an original one, Paul!

Interesting fact: my senior project for Mechanical Engineering was to design a “Mars Lander”.  Basically, we had to get the astronauts from orbit to the planet, let them live there for a set time, and then return them back to orbit to hook up with the return ship.  It was a hell of a project and we all learned an insane amount of information about Mars, space vehicles, and pretty much everything that goes along with it.

Damn, this makes me want to go dig out our final report and look over it now! :D

Hm, and did you do a cost projection accounting for inflation?  I suspect it is in the $30-40 billion range by now.  If only NASA would start doing a little more X-Prize like funding.
