Ow :o( Feel better soon. It's one thing after another isn't it? Hope this is it for a good long while.

As for going to Mars, it's in the human psyche to explore, whether it's on this planet or on others. We're far too inquisitive for our own good sometimes, but it's the only way we've managed to evolve. Surely there must be a way to find the funds and resources to save this planet and go to others.

Silly me. Where there's a political will, there's always a way.
