That dude pisses me off.
I give him a 20% chance of creating indentured servitude on Mars or just creating an elysium satellite for rich people in orbit.

Probably but the frontier is always a wild place .
Humans are expansionist to our core might as well accept it and get on with . Going way out west to chance your luck on mars has to be preferred to the lofty goals of getting a fucking huge mortgage and slaving your life away to pay it off .

I heard years ago that the westward expansion in the US had only a third of settlers survive five years out there.

Another case of Covid has appeared in the community.
A 54 year old woman who lives south of Whangarei who returned overseas and went through quarantine has developed Covid after being released from quarantine. She may have the more contagious UK variant of the virus and had tested negative while in quarantine.
Thankfully the person involved assiduously scanned everywhere she went and had a test when she felt unwell.
Two close contacts have proved negative.
A list of the places she visited has been published.
Please everyone scan wherever you go, wash your hands and wear a freakin mask.
