I ' m on to you OP , that ' s on carpet ! THIS ISN ' T AT THE STORE AT ALL ! <| sep |> My friends and colleagues know I love SW so they constantly ask me stuff . Are you looking forward to Episode 8 in a few weeks ? Doh ! <| sep |> I started playing on Elise patch , she ' s still new right ? . right ? <| sep |> By far the most interesting , fast and affordable tech and scientific Mars projects would be to build a robot based lab on the planet with all kind of specialized capabilites , including the ability to build maintain , modify , recycle and even repurpose robots and scientific equipment on all kinds of other distant planets and moons . There would be tons of opportunities for involment by students and the general public in actual extraterrestrial exploration . It would be far more engaging than manned mars missions on a cost basis , which is only exploration by a tiny class of astronauts . The possibilities would be endless and the return on investment would outstrip manned missions by orders of magnitude .
