Quote by Paul Davies

Perhaps the best motivation for going to Mars is political. It is obvious that no single nation currently has either the will or the resources to do it alone, but a consortium of nations and space agencies could achieve it within 20 years.

Perhaps the best motivation for going to Mars is political.

Summary

This quote suggests that the main motivation for sending humans to Mars could be rooted in political interests. It implies that no individual nation currently possesses the necessary determination or sufficient resources to undertake such a mission alone. However, by forming a collaboration among multiple nations and space agencies, the goal of reaching Mars could be accomplished within a span of 20 years. This indicates that the cooperation and shared resources of different entities would be crucial in making this grand venture possible.
