Anybody else thinking we should've had a moon base and put a man on Mars by now?

The way I’ve always felt about this is, just because she’s Eisenhower’s great-granddaughter doesn’t mean she ain’t crazy as hell.

It doesn’t mean she has any credibility.

I’m sorry it’s just...

Even if they are teleporting to Mars, those of us who aren’t are basically living in an entirely different reality from those people, it may as well be another planet entirely... indeed.

I am occupying the reality where common sense says space colonization goes against nature, therefore is futile and doomed.

Well, I find it interesting that no one, not even her family, has refuted her claims or called her "crazy". In fact, Laura claims that her family has been supportive of her life mission(s), including disclosing her Mars recruitment experiences. Furthermore, Basiago and others have publicly recalled working and having detailed conversations with Mary Jean Eisenhower, Laura's aunt, in the Mars "jump-room" program Basiago was in. Mary Jean has not publicly denied these claims, or confirmed them, but that would make sense since she is a well-known public figure for other reasons.
