It is the fifth of June on a Sunday at which I sit here in this musky and beaten room thinking about how I got here in the first place. I dont even bother turning the tv on. Its a little humid; the tiny fan barely helps cool me down. The streets are beckoning me to save them, but I am trapped in this room.... Read More
It is 12:48 am on on a Sunday of June 5th. I'm sitting in my room, it's dark. If I had a cigarette, it would be lit right now. The smoke slowly floating into the ceiling as my ashtray gets a little more dirty. My belongings are on my drawers inside my baseball cap.
If you are going to maintain a steady, good feeling throughout your life, it is probably necessary to avoid getting too attached to things, for people and things can disappoint you and disturb your equillibrium.

Being shot out into space, that's what'd happen on that lil video there. Which basically is the same thing on Mars since it's atmosphere is about the same as our atmosphere is at around 200,000 feet, although with a different composition. Aside from the fact that there's no way to send supplies to Mars for months at a time, it's no different than being on the space station.
Noteworthy is that there's no way for people to send us supplies here on earth. What we got is what we got. It's the same for mars. But that's a whole other planet too so there's no reason to think that oxygen, nitrogen, aluminum, iron, or anything else that we'd have here isn't there too. The problem isn't the materials, it's the infrastructure. As long as you have energy, you can break any and all things apart into their individual elements.
