A good idea for some Income for nasa is collect lunar and Martian soil to sell back on earth, I am sure tons of people would pay any price for dirt from another planet.
Is that Ice I see in that picture? If it is then it seems a mars colony would be all setup with a water supply. If there is Iron on the planet we may be abled to have factories on the planet and start making some cool things with it.I heard that a reason mars is red is because it has alot of Copper in the soil? I am not sure if it is true though.
